AbstractAnnotationValueVisitor6

public abstract class AbstractAnnotationValueVisitor6 extends Object implements AnnotationValueVisitor
A skeletal visitor for annotation values with default behavior appropriate for the {@link SourceVersion#RELEASE_6 RELEASE_6} source version.

WARNING: The {@code AnnotationValueVisitor} interface implemented by this class may have methods added to it in the future to accommodate new, currently unknown, language structures added to future versions of the Java™ programming language. Therefore, methods whose names begin with {@code "visit"} may be added to this class in the future; to avoid incompatibilities, classes which extend this class should not declare any instance methods with names beginning with {@code "visit"}.

When such a new visit method is added, the default implementation in this class will be to call the {@link #visitUnknown visitUnknown} method. A new abstract annotation value visitor class will also be introduced to correspond to the new language level; this visitor will have different default behavior for the visit method in question. When the new visitor is introduced, all or portions of this visitor may be deprecated.

param
the return type of this visitor's methods
param

the type of the additional parameter to this visitor's methods.

Fields Summary
Constructors Summary
protected AbstractAnnotationValueVisitor6()
Constructor for concrete subclasses to call.

Methods Summary
public final Rvisit(javax.lang.model.element.AnnotationValue av, P p)
Visits an annotation value as if by passing itself to that
value's {@link AnnotationValue#accept accept}. The invocation
{@code v.visit(av)} is equivalent to {@code av.accept(v, p)}.
param
av {@inheritDoc}
param
p {@inheritDoc}
	return av.accept(this, p);
    
public final Rvisit(javax.lang.model.element.AnnotationValue av)
Visits an annotation value as if by passing itself to that
value's {@link AnnotationValue#accept accept} method passing
{@code null} for the additional parameter. The invocation
{@code v.visit(av)} is equivalent to {@code av.accept(v,
null)}.
param
av {@inheritDoc}
	return av.accept(this, null);
    
public RvisitUnknown(javax.lang.model.element.AnnotationValue av, P p)
{@inheritDoc}


The default implementation of this method in {@code
AbstractAnnotationValueVisitor6} will always throw {@code
UnknownAnnotationValueException}. This behavior is not
required of a subclass.
param
av {@inheritDoc}
param
p {@inheritDoc}
	throw new UnknownAnnotationValueException(av, p);
