AnnotationParser (jetty-6.1.26 API)

AnnotationParser None of the common annotations are inheritable, thus calling getAnnotations() is exactly equivalent to getDeclaredAnnotations(). Therefore, in order to find all relevant annotations, the full inheritance tree of a class must be considered. From the spec: Class-level annotations only affect the class they annotate and their members, that is, its methods and fields. They never affect a member declared by a superclass, even if it is not hidden or overridden by the class in question. In addition to affecting the annotated class, class-level annotations may act as a shorthand for member-level annotations. If a member carries a specific member-level annotation, any annotations of the same type implied by a class-level annotation are ignored. In other words, explicit member-level annotations have priority over member-level annotations implied by a class-level annotation. For example, a @WebService annotation on a class implies that all the public method in the class that it is applied on are annotated with @WebMethod if there is no @WebMethod annotation on any of the methods. However if there is a @WebMethod annotation on any method then the @WebService does not imply the presence of
