Adding an annotation to a runtime generated method/class using Javassist
I'm using Javassist to generate a class foo , with method bar , but I can't seem to find a way to add an annotation (the annotation itself isn't runtime generated) to the method. The code I tried looks like this: ClassPool pool = ClassPool.getDefault(); // create the class CtClass cc = pool.makeClass("foo"); // create the method CtMethod mthd = CtNewMethod.make("public Integer getInteger() { return null; }", cc); cc.addMethod(mthd); ClassFile ccFile = cc.getClassFile(); ConstPool constpool = ccFile.getConstPool(); // create the annotation AnnotationsAttribute attr = new AnnotationsAttribute
