Reverting JBMDR-43
I'll revert Kabir's change:
- https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBMDR-43
I think we should leave it to the caller
if it wants to replace ${x} in the annotation's values.
But I'll add four over-loaded methods that take Properties or replace flag
in AnnotationCreator.
/**
* Create annotation.
*
* @param annotationExpr the annotation expression
* @param annotation the annotation class
* @param replace should we replace possible properties in expression
* @return new annotation instance
* @throws Exception for any error
*/
public static Object createAnnotation(final String annotationExpr, final Class<?> annotation, boolean replace) throws Exception
{
return createAnnotation(getRootExpr(annotationExpr, null, replace), annotation, null);
}
/**
* Create annotation.
*
* @param annotationExpr the annotation expression
* @param cl the classloader to use
* @param replace should we replace possible properties in expression
* @return new annotation instance
* @throws Exception for any error
*/
public static Object createAnnotation(String annotationExpr, ClassLoader cl, boolean replace) throws Exception
{
return createAnnotation(getRootExpr(annotationExpr, null, replace), null, cl);
}
/**
* Create annotation.
*
* @param annotationExpr the annotation expression
* @param annotation the annotation class
* @param properties the properties to use for replacement
* @return new annotation instance
* @throws Exception for any error
*/
public static Object createAnnotation(final String annotationExpr, final Class<?> annotation, Properties properties) throws Exception
{
return createAnnotation(getRootExpr(annotationExpr, properties), annotation, null);
}
