Hi all there!

I'm having problems to do the homework for annotations topic. Is that a new
one? Because I can't find any help on this group..., and not much at other
sites either...

Well, the code I´m trying to run is this one:

*import java.lang.annotation.*;

public class MyOwnAnnotationExample {

    public MyOwnAnnotationExample() {
   }

    @RequestForEnhancement(id = 2868724,
    synopsis = "Enable time-travel",
    engineer = "Mr. Peabody",
    date = "4/1/3007")
    public String getSynopsis() {
        return synopsis;
    }

    public void printAnnotations() {
        Class c = this.getClass();
        Annotation[] annotations = c.getAnnotations();
        int numberOfAnnotations = annotations.length;
        System.out.println("Class " + c.getName() + " has " +
                numberOfAnnotations + " annotations");

        for (int i = 0 ; i < numberOfAnnotations; i++) {
            System.out.println("Annotation " + i + ": " + annotations[i] +
                    ", type" + annotations[i].annotationType().getName());
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        MyOwnAnnotationExample moae = new MyOwnAnnotationExample();
        moae.printAnnotations();
    }

}*

And the output:

*run:
Class MyOwnAnnotationExample has 0 annotations
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 1 second)*

I guess the first problem is that in printAnnotations I´m trying to work
with class while I'm annotating a method, but I don't get to know how to
access the annotation of the getSynopsis() method.

Can anyone give me any tips?

Thanks a lot,

Martin.
