Annotation Type SimpleType.TypeFromDesc

Enclosing class:

SimpleType<T>

@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Target(METHOD)
public static @interface SimpleType.TypeFromDesc

A class method annotated with the TypeFromDesc annotation takes the String representation of a type descriptor and returns an instance of a subclass of SimpleType.

The method should check if the type descriptor is a valid one and throw a CreationException if the type descriptor is invalid. The SimpleType.TypeDesc class can be used for parsing the String representation of the type descriptor.

The method is not allowed to return null.
