# Interface AnnotatedParameterizedType

All Superinterfaces:
  `AnnotatedElement`, `AnnotatedType`

public interface AnnotatedParameterizedType extends AnnotatedType
`AnnotatedParameterizedType` represents the potentially annotated use of a parameterized type, whose type arguments may themselves represent annotated uses of types.

See Java Language Specification:
  4.5 Parameterized Types

  1.8

## Method Summary

Modifier and Type
Method
Description
`AnnotatedType[]`
`getAnnotatedActualTypeArguments()`
Returns the potentially annotated actual type arguments of this parameterized type.
`AnnotatedType`
`getAnnotatedOwnerType()`
Returns the potentially annotated type that this type is a member of, if this type represents a nested type.

### Methods declared in interface java.lang.reflect.AnnotatedType

`getAnnotation, getAnnotations, getDeclaredAnnotations, getType`

## Method Details

### getAnnotatedActualTypeArguments

AnnotatedType[] getAnnotatedActualTypeArguments()
Returns the potentially annotated actual type arguments of this parameterized type.

Note that in some cases, the returned array can be empty. This can occur if this annotated type represents a non-parameterized type nested within a parameterized type.

Returns:
  the potentially annotated actual type arguments of this parameterized type
See Also:
  - `ParameterizedType.getActualTypeArguments()`

### getAnnotatedOwnerType

AnnotatedType getAnnotatedOwnerType()
Returns the potentially annotated type that this type is a member of, if this type represents a nested type. For example, if this type is `@TA O<T>.I<S>`, return a representation of `@TA O<T>`.

Returns `null` if this `AnnotatedType` represents a top-level class or interface, or a local or anonymous class, or a primitive type, or void.

Specified by:
  `getAnnotatedOwnerType` in interface `AnnotatedType`
Returns:
  an `AnnotatedType` object representing the potentially annotated type that this type is a member of, or `null`
Throws:
  `TypeNotPresentException` - if the owner type refers to a non-existent class or interface declaration
  `MalformedParameterizedTypeException` - if the owner type refers to a parameterized type that cannot be instantiated for any reason
