---

public abstract class MetaItemDelegate

extends MetaItem

This class defines the super class for all the meta items whithin the rtti aspect.

A meta item encapsulates a java.lang.reflect item so that the user of this item can add extra informations (attributes). Typically this feature can be used by an aspect to tag an element of the model to react to this tag later on.

Examples:

• A persistence aspect can tag some field persistent, add methods that change the object states even if they do not fit naming conventions...

• A GUI can tag a given field to be invisible or a class to be displayed by a special view (eg a given Swing component)...

Version:

0.8.1
