      • getAnnotatedLowerBounds

        AnnotatedType[] getAnnotatedLowerBounds()
        Returns the potentially annotated lower bounds of this wildcard type. If no lower bound is explicitly declared, the lower bound is the type of null. In this case, a zero length array is returned.
        Returns:
        the potentially annotated lower bounds of this wildcard type or an empty array if no lower bound is explicitly declared.

        WildcardType.getLowerBounds()
      • getAnnotatedUpperBounds

        AnnotatedType[] getAnnotatedUpperBounds()
        Returns the potentially annotated upper bounds of this wildcard type. If no upper bound is explicitly declared, the upper bound is unannotated Object
        Returns:
        the potentially annotated upper bounds of this wildcard type

      • getAnnotatedOwnerType

        AnnotatedType getAnnotatedOwnerType()
        Returns the potentially annotated type that this type is a member of, if this type represents a nested type. For example, if this type is @TA O<T>.I<S>, return a representation of @TA O<T>.

        Returns null for an AnnotatedType that is an instance of AnnotatedWildcardType.
