@Inherited作为java的原生注解之一，表示其标记的注解允许被继承，接口实现除外。
1、自定义两个注解SleepTime和ActiveTime，其中一个有@Inherited标记，另一个没有@Inherited标记
package com.chengya.demo.test;
import java.lang.annotation.*;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
@Target({ElementType.TYPE,ElementType.METHOD})
@Inherited
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
public @interface SleepTime {
int max() default 60;
TimeUnit timeUnit() default TimeUnit.SECONDS;
}
package com.chengya.demo.test;
import java.lang.annotation.*;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
@Target({ElementType.TYPE,ElementType.METHOD})
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
public @interface ActiveTime {
int min() default 10;
TimeUnit timeUnit() default TimeUnit.SECONDS;
}
2、自定义接口Animal，并用Cat实现它
@SleepTime(max = 120)
@ActiveTime(min = 5)
public interface Animal {
}
public class Cat implements Animal {
}
3、自定义父类Dog，并用WhiteDog继承它
@SleepTime(max = 360)
@ActiveTime(min = 60)
public class Dog {
}
public class WhiteDog extends Dog {
}
4、测试
package com.chengya.demo.test;
import java.lang.annotation.Annotation;
public class ClientTest {
public static void main(String[] args) throws NoSuchMethodException {
System.out.println("======Animal Class Annotation======");
Class animalClass = Animal.class;
Annotation[] sleepAnnotations = animalClass.getAnnotations();
for (Annotation annotation : sleepAnnotations) {
System.out.println(annotation.toString());
}
System.out.println("======Cat Class Annotation======");
Class catClass = Cat.class;
Annotation[] catAnnotations = catClass.getAnnotations();
for (Annotation annotation : catAnnotations) {
System.out.println(annotation.toString());
}
System.out.println("======Dog Class Annotation======");
Class dogClass = Dog.class;
Annotation[] dogAnnotations = dogClass.getAnnotations();
for (Annotation annotation : dogAnnotations) {
System.out.println(annotation.toString());
}
System.out.println("======White Dog Class Annotation======");
Class whiteDogClass = WhiteDog.class;
Annotation[] whiteDogAnnotations = whiteDogClass.getAnnotations();
for (Annotation annotation : whiteDogAnnotations) {
System.out.println(annotation.toString());
}
}
}
输出结果：
----------Animal Class Annotation----------
@com.chengya.demo.test.SleepTime(max=120, timeUnit=SECONDS)
@com.chengya.demo.test.ActiveTime(min=5, timeUnit=SECONDS)
----------Cat Class Annotation----------
----------Dog Class Annotation----------
@com.chengya.demo.test.SleepTime(max=360, timeUnit=SECONDS)
@com.chengya.demo.test.ActiveTime(min=60, timeUnit=SECONDS)
----------White Dog Class Annotation----------
@com.chengya.demo.test.SleepTime(max=360, timeUnit=SECONDS)
由此可见，如果父类使用的注解带有@Inherited标注，子类是可以获取到此注解的；如果父类使用的注解不带@Inherited标注，子类则无法获取到此注解。
至于接口，无论接口使用的注解是否带有@Inherited标注，实现类都是无法获取到接口的注解的。
