Hi Please review this small fix for a type annotation reflection issue.
The javadoc spec for Class.getAnnotatedSuperclass says: * If this Class represents either the Object class, an interface type, an * array type, a primitive type, or void, the return value is null. The patch fixes this. Webrev at: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jfranck/8022343/webrew.00/ Patch also included it at the end of this mail. cheers /Joel diff -r b07b19182e40 src/share/classes/java/lang/Class.java --- a/src/share/classes/java/lang/Class.java Thu Aug 15 15:04:59 2013 +0100 +++ b/src/share/classes/java/lang/Class.java Fri Aug 16 13:20:31 2013 +0200 @@ -3338,8 +3338,16 @@ * @since 1.8 */ public AnnotatedType getAnnotatedSuperclass() { - return TypeAnnotationParser.buildAnnotatedSuperclass(getRawTypeAnnotations(), getConstantPool(), this); -} + if(this == Object.class || + isInterface() || + isArray() || + isPrimitive() || + this == Void.TYPE) { + return null; + } + + return TypeAnnotationParser.buildAnnotatedSuperclass(getRawTypeAnnotations(), getConstantPool(), this); + } /** * Returns an array of AnnotatedType objects that represent the use of types to diff -r b07b19182e40 test/java/lang/annotation/TypeAnnotationReflection.java --- a/test/java/lang/annotation/TypeAnnotationReflection.java Thu Aug 15 15:04:59 2013 +0100 +++ b/test/java/lang/annotation/TypeAnnotationReflection.java Fri Aug 16 13:20:31 2013 +0200 @@ -23,7 +23,7 @@ /* * @test - * @bug 8004698 8007073 + * @bug 8004698 8007073 8022343 * @summary Unit test for type annotations */ @@ -58,7 +58,7 @@ } private static void testSuper() throws Exception { - check(Object.class.getAnnotatedSuperclass().getAnnotations().length == 0); + check(Object.class.getAnnotatedSuperclass() == null); check(Class.class.getAnnotatedSuperclass().getAnnotations().length == 0); AnnotatedType a; diff -r b07b19182e40 test/java/lang/annotation/typeAnnotations/GetAnnotatedSuperclass.java --- /dev/null Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 +0000 +++ b/test/java/lang/annotation/typeAnnotations/GetAnnotatedSuperclass.java Fri Aug 16 13:20:31 2013 +0200 @@ -0,0 +1,50 @@ +/* + * Copyright (c) 2013, Oracle and/or its affiliates.
