Exploring Practical Java Annotation Processor
In this hands-on segment, we’ll dive into a practical exercise to reinforce the concepts we’ve explored regarding Java Annotation Processors. The goal is to revisit a previously examined example that utilized reflection, enabling us to compare solutions and showcase the distinctive features and advantages of employing Java Annotation Processors.
The task at hand involves converting a Map instance to an entity instance and vice versa, adhering to the specifications outlined in the provided interface:
public interface Mapper { <T> T toEntity(Map<String, Object> map, Class<T> type);
<T> Map<String, Object> toMap(T entity);
}
By revisiting this familiar scenario, you’ll witness firsthand how annotation processors can streamline code generation and manipulation during compile time. As you undertake the practical exercises, consider the...
