What is single member annotation and how to process it?


Description:

  • Single member contatins only one member, and it is also kind of normal annotation.
  • The only difference we can make is the value assignment.
  • We can assign the value without specifing the member name as shown in the below example. This only works when we declare name of the member as value.


Code:
package com.java2novice.annotations;

import java.lang.annotation.Retention;
import java.lang.annotation.RetentionPolicy;
import java.lang.reflect.Method;

@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@interface MyAnnotn{
	
	String value();
}

public class MySingleMembAnnotation {

	@MyAnnotn("java2novice.com")
	public void myAnnotationTestMethod(){
		
		try {
			Class<? extends MySingleMembAnnotation> cls = this.getClass();
			Method mth = cls.getMethod("myAnnotationTestMethod");
			MyAnnotn myAnno = mth.getAnnotation(MyAnnotn.class);
			System.out.println("value: "+myAnno.value());
		} catch (SecurityException e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		} catch (NoSuchMethodException e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
	}
	
	public static void main(String a[]){
		
		MySingleMembAnnotation mat = new MySingleMembAnnotation();
		mat.myAnnotationTestMethod();
	}
}

Output:
value: java2novice.com

wait Vs sleep methods
sleep(): It is a static method on Thread class. It makes the current thread into the "Not Runnable" state for specified amount of time. During this time, the thread keeps the lock (monitors) it has acquired.

wait(): It is a method on Object class. It makes the current thread into the "Not Runnable" state. Wait is called on a object, not a thread. Before calling wait() method, the object should be synchronized, means the object should be inside synchronized block. The call to wait() releases the acquired lock.
