Method Detail

getObjectValue

java.lang.Object getObjectValue()

Answer the raw, untyped, value of this annotation value.

The raw value of the annotation is set when the annotation value is constructed, and includes at least a raw value, and may optionally include an the name of the enumeration type of the value.

When the type of the value is known, a casting getter may be used to retrieve the typed value. See, for example, getLongValue(), amount several typing getters. If the casting getter does not match the set type, a class cast exception will occur.

Returns:
The raw, untyped, value of this annotation value.
