public class BeanAnnotations
extends GlobalAnnotations

Defines annotations that can be specified in a bean interface comment block to contribute to the definition of a descriptor bean.

BEAN

public static final AnnotationDefinition BEAN

Indicates that the annotated interface defines a descriptor bean. This annotation is not required if the bean interface name ends with "Bean".

Usage: @bean

Usage: @wld:bean

ABSTRACT

public static final AnnotationDefinition ABSTRACT

Indicates that the annotated interface does not define a concrete bean and will always be extended by some other interface. The practical result of this annotation is that the bean generator will allow this bean to define operations without defining corresponding custom methods in a customizer.

Usage: @abstract

Usage: @wld:bean abstract = booleanValue

CUSTOMIZER_FACTORY

public static final AnnotationDefinition CUSTOMIZER_FACTORY

Specifies a class that implements CustomizerFactory interface and use this class to create cusomizter classes' instance. This class should provide a public and non-argument constructor.

Usage: @customizerFactory customizerClassName

Usage: @wld:bean customizerFactory = customizerClassName

CUSTOMIZER

public static final AnnotationDefinition CUSTOMIZER

Specifies a class that customizes the implementation of the annotated interface. This customizer may implement operations, augment the implementation of property methods and implement bean lifecyle events. See ExampleCustomizedBean for an example of a customized bean and ExampleCustomizedBeanCustomizer for an example of a customizer class.

Usage: @customizer customizerClassName

Usage: @wld:bean customizer = customizerClassName

ALLOW_DIFF_WITH_SIBLING_CLASS

public static final AnnotationDefinition ALLOW_DIFF_WITH_SIBLING_CLASS

VALIDATOR

public static final AnnotationDefinition VALIDATOR

Specifies a custom method to be called as part of on-demand validation for the annotated bean. The method must be static and accessible to the generated bean class. It must have the following form:

public static void methodName(BeanType bean) throws IllegalArgumentException;

See ExampleValidationBean for an example use of this annotation and ExampleCustomValidator.validateExampleValidationBean(weblogic.descriptor.example.ExampleValidationBean) for an example of a validator method.

Usage: @validator validatorMethod

Usage: @wld:bean validator = validatorMethod

ROOT

public static final AnnotationDefinition ROOT

Indicates that the annotated interface is the root of the descriptor and specifies the name of the root element. Note that there can only be one bean in a descriptor that has this annotation.

Usage: @root rootElementName

Usage: @wld:bean root = rootElementName

BASE_INTERFACE

public static final AnnotationDefinition BASE_INTERFACE

Indicates that the annotated interface represents a base interface. Any interfaces that it extends are not considered part of the bean defintion.

Usage: @baseInterface

Usage: @wld:bean baseInterface = booleanValue

REFERENCEABLE

public static final AnnotationDefinition REFERENCEABLE

Indicates that instances of the annotated bean can be referred to by other beans. This annotation is required for any bean that can be used as a value for a reference property.

Usage: @referenceable

Usage: @wld:bean referenceable = booleanValue

XML_TYPE_NAME

public static final AnnotationDefinition XML_TYPE_NAME

Explictly specifies the xml type name to be used in the schema definition for the annotated bean. By default the type name will be derived by:

1. Removing the trailing Bean (or MBean) Inserting a '-' before each capital letter that is preceeded by a lowercase letter
2. Converting all capital letters to lowercase
3. Appending "Type" to the name.

For example, FooBarBean becomes foo-barType

Usage: @xmlTypeName String

Usage: @wld:bean xmlTypeName = String

public static final AnnotationDefinition TARGET_NAMESPACE

public static final AnnotationDefinition DELEGATE_BEAN
