Annotation Type GuardedBy
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
public @interface GuardedBy
The field or method to which this annotation is applied can only be accessed
when holding a particular lock, which may be a built-in (synchronization) lock,
or may be an explicit Lock
.
The argument is a string that indicates which lock guards the annotated variable:
-
this
: The intrinsic lock of the object in whose class the field is defined.
-
class-name.this
: For inner classes, it may be necessary to disambiguate 'this';
the class-name.this designation allows you to specify which 'this' reference is intended
-
itself
: For reference fields only; the object to which the field refers.
-
field-name
: The lock object is referenced by the (instance or static) field
specified by field-name.
-
class-name.field-name
: The lock object is reference by the static field specified
by class-name.field-name.
-
method-name()
: The lock object is returned by calling the named nil-ary method.
-
class-name.class
: The Class object for the specified class should be used as the lock object.
