Annotation Type Advice.Return

Enclosing class:
Advice

@Documented @Retention(RUNTIME) @Target(PARAMETER) public static @interface Advice.Return

Indicates that the annotated parameter should be mapped to the return value of the instrumented method. If the instrumented method terminates exceptionally, the type's default value is assigned to the parameter, i.e. 0 for numeric types and null for reference types. If the return type is void, the annotated value is null if and only if typing() is set to Assigner.Typing.DYNAMIC.

Note: This annotation must only be used on Advice.OnMethodExit advice methods.

      Indicates if it is possible to write to this parameter. If this property is set to false, the annotated type must be equal to the type declaring the instrumented method if the typing is not also set to Assigner.Typing.DYNAMIC. If this property is set to true, the annotated parameter can be any super type of the instrumented method's declaring type.

      Important: This property must be set to true if the advice method is not inlined.

      Returns:
      true if this parameter is read-only.

      true
