Method Details

public<L extends T> InputIterator<Annotation<L> > getAllAnnotations ( Class< L > clazz ) [package]

Returns all annotations which are of type clazz.

Parameters:

clazz the class to query for (which must not be null)

Returns:: an InputIterator to iterate over the results. Returns never null.

abstract InputIterator<Annotation<T> > getAllAnnotations	(	Class< T >	clazz,
		String	signalId
	)		`[pure virtual]`

Returns all annotations which are of type clazz and which are assigned to the signalId.

Parameters:

clazz	the class or interface to find, which must not be `null`.
signalId	the id of the signal to query. If `null`, all signals are queried.

Returns:: an InputIterator to iterate over the results. Returns never null.

abstract <LextendsDataObject> InputIterator<Annotation<L> > getAnnotations	(	Class< L >	clazz,
		Range	range,
		Order	order
	)		`[pure virtual]`

Returns all annotations of clazz L as specified by range, filter and order.

Parameters:

<L>	any class or interface.
clazz	the class or interface to find, which must not be `null`.
range	a Range to specify the area to search in. If `null`, all signals are queried.
filter
order	an Order to sort the returned results. If `null`, the order of the returned elements is unspecified.

Returns:: an InputIterator to iterate over the results. Returns never null.

abstract InputIterator<Annotation<T> > getAnnotationsOfType	(	Class< T >	clazz,
		Range	range,
		Order	order,
		long	typeId
	)		`[pure virtual]`

Returns all annotations which are of class clazz, match the given Range and the given typeId, ordered by Order.

Parameters:

clazz	the class or interface to find, which must not be `null`.
range	a Range to specify the area to search in. If `null`, all signals are queried.
order	an Order to sort the returned results. If `null`, the order of the returned elements is unspecified.
typeId	an id of a type, as returned by Annotation#getTypeId(). Must not be `null`.

Returns:: an InputIterator to iterate over the results. Returns never null.

abstract InputIterator<T> getDataObjects	(	Class< T >	clazz,
		Range	range,
		Order	order
	)		`[pure virtual]`

Returns all dataobjects of class clazz as specified by range, filter and order.

Parameters:

clazz	the class or interface to find, which must not be `null`.
range	a Range to specify the area to search in. If `null`, all signals are queried.
filter
order	an Order to sort the returned results. If `null`, the order of the returned elements is unspecified.

Returns:: an InputIterator to iterate over the results. Returns never null.

abstract int getNumberOfAnnotations	(	Class< T >	clazz,
		Range	range
	)		`[pure virtual]`

Returns the number of annotations of type clazz, further specified by range and filter.

Parameters:

clazz	the class or interface to find, which must not be `null`.
range	a Range to specify the area to search in. If `null`, all signals are queried.
filter

Returns:: an InputIterator to iterate over the results. Returns never null.

abstract int getNumberOfAnnotationTypes	(	Class< T >	clazz,
		Range	range
	)		`[pure virtual]`

Returns the number of annotation with unique type ids (as returned by Annotation#getTypeId() specified by clazz, range and filter.

Parameters:

clazz	the class or interface to find, which must not be `null`.
range	a Range to specify the area to search in. If `null`, all signals are queried.
filter

Returns:: an InputIterator to iterate over the results. Returns never null.
