What is annotation indexing?


In this section of Seam Catch manual it is said that

The @HandlesExceptions annotation may be deprecated in favor of annotation indexing done by Seam Solder.

However, the Seam Solder manual not even has the "index" word in it - at least as far as I searched. Not even Google gave me some minimal explanation about this term. So, what is "annotation indexing" in this context? How does Seam Solder do it?


Solution

  • It just means that Seam Solder could index all the annotation of these classes, so you don't need the @HandlesExceptions annotation anymore, only the @Handles anotations at method level will suffice in that case.
