    • getProperties

      protected final Map getProperties()
      Description copied from class: AbstractAnnotation
      Implement this to return the Map delegate. Modifying this return value will modify the properties associated with this annotation. From code in the 1.2 version of AbstractAnnotation This is required for the implementation of an Annotation that extends AbstractAnnotation. Where possible implementations should be backed with a LinkedHashMap or similar so properties are iterated in the order they were added.
      Specified by:
      getProperties in class AbstractAnnotation
      Returns:
      a Map containing all properties
    • propertiesAllocated

      protected final boolean propertiesAllocated()

      A convenience method to see if we have allocated the properties Map. This is required for the implementation of an Annotation that extends AbstractAnnotation.
      Specified by:
      propertiesAllocated in class AbstractAnnotation
      Returns:
      true if the properties have been allocated, false otherwise
