Class AnnotationLiteral<T extends Annotation>

java.lang.Object
org.glassfish.jersey.internal.inject.AnnotationLiteral<T>
Type Parameters:
T - the annotation type
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Annotation
Direct Known Subclasses:
BackgroundSchedulerLiteral, ClientAsyncExecutorLiteral, ClientBackgroundSchedulerLiteral, CustomAnnotationLiteral, ManagedAsyncExecutorLiteral, NamedImpl
public abstract class AnnotationLiteral<T extends Annotation> extends Object implements Annotation, Serializable
Supports inline instantiation of annotation type instances.

An instance of an annotation type may be obtained by subclassing AnnotationLiteral. 

 public abstract class PayByQualifier
       extends AnnotationLiteral<PayBy>
       implements PayBy {}
An extension of AnnotationLiteral must do two things:
  1. Must have the target annotation as its generic type
  2. Must implement the target type
In particular, in-line anonymous extensions of AnnotationLiteral will not work because in-line anonymous extensions of AnnotationLiteral cannot implement the target annotation
