[JBoss AOP] - Re: Problem with annotation in test case AnnotatedSecureRunA
by rachmatowicz＠jboss.com
Hello Kabir
I spoke with Shelly on the phone, but i'll reply here.
My doclets are aimed at producing analysis reports of test suites based on javadoc processing of new tags (@functionUnderTest, @unitUnderTest, etc.). In the course of producing such reports, the doclet does some processing of annotations embedded in the test cases: for example, looking for @Test which can be used to differentiate test methods from non-test methods.
When I run the doclet against the AS 4.2.2 testsuite as is, using JDK 5, I get the exception:
[javadoc] /home/nrla/jboss-4.2.2.GA-src/testsuite/src/main/org/jboss/test/aop/bean/AnnotatedSecureRunAsPOJO.java:52: incompatible types
[javadoc] found : org.jboss.aspects.security.Unchecked

In order to try and find out what was causing this problem, I removed the annotations in the offending test case. Then the doclet did not encounter the exception. I have tested my doclet on annotated test cases I wrote and have never seen this error there.
So, in order to further investigate, I had a look at the annotations which were causing the problem. I noticed that the annotations did not have the familiar @interface keyword, but only interface. So I replaced interface with @interface and tried to recompile. My understanding of annotations is limited, and this may have been the way annotations were defined in earlier releases of JDK. I was just guessing.
When I tried to recompile my changes using JDK 5, I got the error:

So this is where I am. All I know is that javadoc complains about these annotations, but I don't know (i) if the change from interface to @interface for these annotations is correct, nor (ii) whether tinkering around with the source level restrictions is something I should be even thinking about. That's why I have asked for advice.
If you need further info, please don't hesitate.
