Annotation Type MethodMonitorGroup

@Documented
@Target(value=ANNOTATION_TYPE)
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
public @interface MethodMonitorGroup

Meta-annotation used to define annotations that define groups of related classes whose methods should be traced. MethodMonitorGroups may be nested, and MethodMonitorFactory instances that apply to a group apply to all subgroups as well (following the transitive closure of the subgroups).

Element Detail

value

public abstract Class<? extends Annotation>[] value

List of MethodMonitorGroups that are subgrops of this one. Because annotations don't support circularity, the type can't be MethodMonitorGroup[], so we require that all classes in subgroups be annotations which are annotated with MethodMonitorGroup.

Returns:

List of MethodMonitorGroups that are subgroups of this one.
