 Java 5 Annotations

Java 5 Annotations

© FCG | Slide 23 FCG Internal/Restricted/Confidential Version: ##.## | Issue Date: mm/dd/yyyy

 What are annotations?

 In short, annotations are metadata or data about data

 The value of annotations:

– Compiler checking
– Code analysis
– Dependency injection (especially for JEE)

© FCG | Slide 24 FCG Internal/Restricted/Confidential Version: ##.## | Issue Date: mm/dd/yyyy

 The Override annotation

 Indicates that the annotated method is overriding a method in a

superclass.
 The compiler will give an error if the super class does not have that method.
 Change public int hashCode() to public int hasCode()  compiler error.

package com.fcgv.corejava.annotation;
public class OverrideTester {
public OverrideTester() { }
@Override
public String toString() {
return super.toString() + " [Override Tester Implementation]";
}
@Override
public int hashCode() {
return toString().hashCode();
}
}

 The Deprecated annotation

 To annotate a method that shouldn't be used anymore.

 The compiler will give an error/warning if this method is override or invoked .

package com.fcgv.corejava.annotation;

public class DeprecatedClass {

@Deprecated
public void doSomething() {
// some code
}

public void doSomethingElse() {

// This method presumably does what doSomething() does, but better
}
}

 The SuppressWarnings
annotation
 Indicates that the annotated method is overriding a method in a
superclass.
 The compiler will give an error/warning if there’s no @SuppressWarnings.

package com.fcgv.corejava.annotation;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

import java.lang.SuppressWarnings;

public class SuppressWarningsClass {

@SuppressWarnings(value = { "unchecked" })
public void nonGenericsMethod() {
List wordList = new ArrayList(); // no typing information on the List

wordList.add("foo"); // causes error on list addition

}

 More built-in annotations

 There are more built-in annotations can be found in

java.lang.annotation package:
– @Documented: Whether to put the annotation in Javadocs
– @Inherited: Whether subclasses get the annotation
– @Retention: When the annotation is needed
– @Target: Places the annotation can go
 Custom annotations can be implemented if needed.

 JEE 5 annotations

 The Java EE 5 platform simplifies deployment by removing the need

for deployment descriptors:
– Defining and using web services
– Developing EJB software applications
– Mapping Java technology classes to XML
– Mapping Java technology classes to databases
– Mapping methods to operations
– Specifying external dependencies
– Specifying deployment information, including security attributes
 Custom annotations can be implemented if needed.

 EJB3 annotation examples

package com.fcgv.tdd.service;

@Stateless
public class BookManagementFacadeBean implements BookManagementFacadeLocal {
@Resource
private SessionContext ctx;

@PersistenceContext (name="Tdd-Unit")
private EntityManager manager;

public List<Book> getAllBooks() {

return manager.createQuery("select o from Book o").getResultList();
}
}

package com.fcgv.tdd.service;

@Local
public interface BookManagementFacadeLocal {
public List<Book> getAllBooks();
}

 EJB3 annotation examples (cont.)

package com.fcgv.tdd.model;

@Entity
@NamedQueries({@NamedQuery(name = "Book.findAll", query = "select o from Book o")})
@Table(name = "BOOK")
public class Book implements Serializable {
@Id
@Column(name = "ID", updatable = false)
private Integer id = null;

@Column(name = "TITLE", length=50)

private String title;

@Column(name = "ISBN", length=20)

private String isbn;

@Column(name = "QUANTITY")
private Integer quantity;

@Column(name = "DESCRIPTION", length=5000)

private String description;

…
}

 Resource lookup example

 Without annotation:

public javax.sql.DataSource getCatalogDS() {

try {
// Obtain the initial Java Naming and Directory Interface
// (JNDI) context.
InitialContext initCtx = new InitialContext();
// Perform JNDI lookup to obtain the resource.
catalogDS = (DataSource)
initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/catalogDS");
} catch (NamingException ex) {
// Handle failure.
}
}
...
public getProductsByCategory() {
// Get the DataSource.
DataSource catalogDS = getCatalogDS();
// Get a connection and execute the query.
Connection conn = catalogDS.getConnection();
...
}

 JNDI lookup without annotations
(cont.)
<resource-ref>
<description>Catalog DataSource</description>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/catalogDS</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>
...

 With annotation:

private @Resource DataSource catalogDS;

public getProductsByCategory() {
// Get a connection and execute the query.
Connection conn = catalogDS.getConnection();
...
}
...
