This is only appropriate if the value field returns a value that is an Enumeration. Applications of the type qualifier with different values are exclusive, and the enumeration is an exhaustive list of the possible values. For example, the following defines a type qualifier such that if you know a value is neither @Foo(Color.Red) or @Foo(Color.Blue), then the value must be @Foo(Color.Green). And if you know it is @Foo(Color.Green), you know it cannot be @Foo(Color.Red) or @Foo(Color.Blue) <code> @TypeQualifier @interface Foo { enum Color {RED, BLUE, GREEN}; @Exhaustive Color value(); } </code> <P> <P> <P> <P> <!-- ========= END OF CLASS DATA ========= --> <HR> <!-- ======= START OF BOTTOM NAVBAR ====== --> <A NAME="navbar_bottom"><!-- --></A> <A HREF="#skip-navbar_bottom" title="Skip navigation links"></A> <TABLE BORDER="0" WIDTH="100%" CELLPADDING="1" CELLSPACING="0" SUMMARY=""> <TR> <TD COLSPAN=2 BGCOLOR="#EEEEFF" CLASS="NavBarCell1"> <A NAME="navbar_bottom_firstrow"><!-- --></A> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="3" SUMMARY=""> <TR ALIGN="center" VALIGN="top"> <TD BGCOLOR="#EEEEFF" CLASS="NavBarCell1"> <A HREF="../../../overview-summary.html"><FONT CLASS="NavBarFont1"><B>Overview</B></FONT></A> </TD> <TD BGCOLOR="#EEEEFF" CLASS="NavBarCell1"> <A HREF="package-summary.html"><FONT CLASS="NavBarFont1"><B>Package</B></FONT></A> </TD> <TD BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" CLASS="NavBarCell1Rev"> <FONT CLASS="NavBarFont1Rev"><B>Class</B></FONT> </TD> <TD BGCOLOR="#EEEEFF" CLASS="NavBarCell1"> <A HREF="package-tree.html"><FONT CLASS="NavBarFont1"><B>Tree</B></FONT></A> </TD> <TD BGCOLOR="#EEEEFF" CLASS="NavBarCell1"> <A HREF="../../../deprecated-list.html"><FONT CLASS="NavBarFont1"><B>Deprecated</B></FONT></A> </TD> <TD BGCOLOR="#EEEEFF" CLASS="NavBarCell1"> <A HREF="../../../index-all.html"><FONT CLASS="NavBarFont1"><B>Index</B></FONT></A> </TD> <TD BGCOLOR="#EEEEFF" CLASS="NavBarCell1"> <A HREF="../../../help-doc.html"><FONT CLASS="NavBarFont1"><B>Help</B></FONT></A> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> </TD> <TD ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top" ROWSPAN=3><EM> </EM> </TD> </TR> <TR> <TD BGCOLOR="white" CLASS="NavBarCell2"><FONT SIZE="-2"> <A HREF="../../../javax/annotation/meta/Exclusive.html" title="annotation in javax.annotation.meta"><B>PREV CLASS</B></A> <A HREF="../../../javax/annotation/meta/TypeQualifier.html" title="annotation in javax.annotation.meta"><B>NEXT CLASS</B></A></FONT></TD> <TD BGCOLOR="white" CLASS="NavBarCell2"><FONT SIZE="-2"> <A HREF="../../../index.html?javax/annotation/meta/Exhaustive.html" target="_top"><B>FRAMES</B></A> <A HREF="Exhaustive.html" target="_top"><B>NO FRAMES</B></A> <SCRIPT type="text/javascript"> <!-- if(window==top) { document.writeln('<A HREF="../../../allclasses-noframe.html"><B>All Classes</B></A>'); } //--> </SCRIPT> <NOSCRIPT> <A HREF="../../../allclasses-noframe.html"><B>All Classes</B></A> </NOSCRIPT> </FONT></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD VALIGN="top" CLASS="NavBarCell3"><FONT SIZE="-2"> SUMMARY: REQUIRED | OPTIONAL</FONT></TD> <TD VALIGN="top" CLASS="NavBarCell3"><FONT SIZE="-2"> DETAIL: ELEMENT</FONT></TD> </TR> </TABLE> <A NAME="skip-navbar_bottom"></A> <!-- ======== END OF BOTTOM NAVBAR ======= --> <HR> </BODY> </HTML>
