You can add annotations in your source code by directly
adding the annotation in the Java™ editor.
Before you begin
In the Java EE
perspective, if the Annotations view does not appear in the bottom
of the workspace, you need to add the Annotations view. For more information,
see
Using the Annotations view.
Procedure
- In the Enterprise Explorer view, double-click your Java class to open the file in the Java editor.
- Place your cursor in the section of your class (class level,
method level) where you want to add an annotation.
- Type the symbol @ followed by the name
of your annotation:
@Session
@Interceptors
Note: The order in which you place the annotations
is not significant, though generally the component-defining annotation
appears before other types of annotations. What is important is that
annotations are placed in the appropriate place in the source file;
class-level annotations must appear before the class declaration;
method-level annotations are introduced before the method declaration,
and field-level annotations are applied to the field itself.
- If the annotation requires parameters, an error appears
in the margin. You can right-click the error and select Quick Fix
(
) to import required jars or to add required
parameters.
