java method 注释,如何Java方法的注释与方法重载一起工作？

I have a parent class Parent and a child class Child, defined thus:

class Parent {

@MyAnnotation("hello")

void foo() {

// implementation irrelevant

}

}

class Child {

@Override

foo() {

// implementation irrelevant

}

}

If I obtain a Method reference to Child::foo, will childFoo.getAnnotation(MyAnnotation.class) give me @MyAnnotation? Or will it be null?

I'm interested more generally in how or whether annotation works with Java inheritance.

Annotation Inheritance

It is important to understand the rules relating to inheritance of annotations, as these have a bearing on join point matching based on the presence or absence of annotations.

By default annotations are not inherited. Given the following program

@MyAnnotation

class Super {

@Oneway public void foo() {}

}

class Sub extends Super {

public void foo() {}

}

Then Sub does not have the MyAnnotation annotation, and Sub.foo() is not an @Oneway method, despite the fact that it overrides Super.foo() which is.

If an annotation type has the meta-annotation @Inherited then an annotation of that type on a class will cause the annotation to be inherited by sub-classes. So, in the example above, if the MyAnnotation type had the @Inherited attribute, then Sub would have the MyAnnotation annotation.

@Inherited annotations are not inherited when used to annotate anything other than a type. A type that implements one or more interfaces never inherits any annotations from the interfaces it implements.
