34 /** |
|
35 * A visitor of the values of annotation type elements, using a |
|
36 * variant of the visitor design pattern. Unlike a standard visitor |
|
37 * which dispatches based on the concrete type of a member of a type |
|
38 * hierarchy, this visitor dispatches based on the type of data |
|
39 * stored; there are no distinct subclasses for storing, for example, |
|
40 * {@code boolean} values versus {@code int} values. Classes |
|
41 * implementing this interface are used to operate on a value when the |
|
42 * type of that value is unknown at compile time. When a visitor is |
|
43 * passed to a value's {@link AnnotationValue#accept accept} method, |
|
44 * the <tt>visit<i>XYZ</i></tt> method applicable to that value is |
|
45 * invoked. |
|
46 * |
|
47 * <p> Classes implementing this interface may or may not throw a |
|
48 * {@code NullPointerException} if the additional parameter {@code p} |
|
49 * is {@code null}; see documentation of the implementing class for |
|
50 * details. |
|
51 * |
|
52 * <p> <b>WARNING:</b> It is possible that methods will be added to |
|
53 * this interface to accommodate new, currently unknown, language |
|
54 * structures added to future versions of the Java™ programming |
|
55 * language. Therefore, visitor classes directly implementing this |
|
56 * interface may be source incompatible with future versions of the |
|
57 * platform. To avoid this source incompatibility, visitor |
|
58 * implementations are encouraged to instead extend the appropriate |
|
59 * abstract visitor class that implements this interface. However, an |
|
60 * API should generally use this visitor interface as the type for |
|
61 * parameters, return type, etc. rather than one of the abstract |
|
62 * classes. |
|
63 * |
|
64 * <p>Note that methods to accommodate new language constructs could |
|
65 * be added in a source <em>compatible</em> way if they were added as |
|
66 * <em>default methods</em>. However, default methods are only |
|
67 * available on Java SE 8 and higher releases and the {@code |
|
68 * javax.lang.model.*} packages bundled in Java SE 8 are required to |
|
69 * also be runnable on Java SE 7. Therefore, default methods |
|
70 * <em>cannot</em> be used when extending {@code javax.lang.model.*} |
|
71 * to cover Java SE 8 language features. However, default methods may |
|
72 * be used in subsequent revisions of the {@code javax.lang.model.*} |
|
73 * packages that are only required to run on Java SE 8 and higher |
|
74 * platform versions. |
