Java 寻找具有特定注解的方法及其注解元素

Suppose I have this annotation class

@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Target(ElementType.METHOD)
public @interface MethodXY {
    public int x();
    public int y();
}

public class AnnotationTest {
    @MethodXY(x=5, y=5)
    public void myMethodA(){ ... }

    @MethodXY(x=3, y=2)
    public void myMethodB(){ ... }
}

So is there a way to look into an object, "seek" out the method with the @MethodXY annotation, where its element x = 3, y = 2, and invoke it?

Thanks

Here is a method, which returns methods with specific annotations:

public static List<Method> getMethodsAnnotatedWith(final Class<?> type, final Class<? extends Annotation> annotation) {
    final List<Method> methods = new ArrayList<Method>();
    Class<?> klass = type;
    while (klass != Object.class) { // need to iterated thought hierarchy in order to retrieve methods from above the current instance
        // iterate though the list of methods declared in the class represented by klass variable, and add those annotated with the specified annotation
        for (final Method method : klass.getDeclaredMethods()) {
            if (method.isAnnotationPresent(annotation)) {
                Annotation annotInstance = method.getAnnotation(annotation);
                // TODO process annotInstance
                methods.add(method);
            }
        }
        // move to the upper class in the hierarchy in search for more methods
        klass = klass.getSuperclass();
    }
    return methods;
}

It can be easily modified to your specific needs. Pls note that the provided method traverses class hierarchy in order to find methods with required annotations.

Here is a method for your specific needs:

public static List<Method> getMethodsAnnotatedWithMethodXY(final Class<?> type) {
    final List<Method> methods = new ArrayList<Method>();
    Class<?> klass = type;
    while (klass != Object.class) { // need to iterated thought hierarchy in order to retrieve methods from above the current instance
        // iterate though the list of methods declared in the class represented by klass variable, and add those annotated with the specified annotation
        for (final Method method : klass.getDeclaredMethods()) {
            if (method.isAnnotationPresent(MethodXY.class)) {
                MethodXY annotInstance = method.getAnnotation(MethodXY.class);
                if (annotInstance.x() == 3 && annotInstance.y() == 2) {         
                    methods.add(method);
                }
            }
        }
        // move to the upper class in the hierarchy in search for more methods
        klass = klass.getSuperclass();
    }
    return methods;
}

For invocation of the found method(s) pls refer a tutorial. One of the potential difficulties here is the number of method arguments, which could vary between found methods and thus requiring some additional processing.
