How to get a method's annotation value from a ProceedingJoinPoint?

Question

I have below annotation.

MyAnnotation.java

@Target(ElementType.METHOD)
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
public @interface MyAnnotation {

}
         


        

Answer 1

This works as well - You can fetch annotation information using reflection on the class.

Annotation anno = MyClass.class.getAnnotation(MyAnnotation.class);

Or

Annotation anno = MyClass.class.getDeclaredMethod("somethod").getAnnotation(MyAnnotation.class);

This works only if your annotation is available at runtime, which you have declared correctly.

@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
