Method Detail

scanClassNamesAnnotatedBy

Set<String> scanClassNamesAnnotatedBy(Class<? extends Annotation> annotationType,
                                      boolean matchSuperClass,

Scans classpath from the location specified by locationPatterns for all class names which annotates the speified annotationType.

• classpath*:org/examples/beans/**/*.class : For all matching resources from the class path, which are descendants under org/examples/beans/ package.
• classpath*:org/examples/beans/*.class : For all matching resources from the class path, which are one level children under org/examples/beans/ package.

Parameters:

annotationType -

matchSuperClass -
