- Method Detail
  - 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
    
    See Also:
    
    WildcardType.getUpperBounds()
  - 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.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getAnnotatedOwnerType in interface AnnotatedType
    
    Returns:
