Annotation Type MemberSubstitution.SelfCallHandle

Enclosing class:
MemberSubstitution
@Documented @Retention(RUNTIME) @Target(PARAMETER) public static @interface MemberSubstitution.SelfCallHandle

Indicates that the annotated parameter should load a java.lang.invoke.MethodHandle that represents an invocation of the substituted expression or instrumented method. If the current method is virtual, it is bound to the current instance such that the virtual hierarchy is avoided. This annotation cannot be used to acquire a handle on enclosing constructors.

Important: Don't confuse this annotation with Advice.SelfCallHandle. This annotation should be used only in combination with MemberSubstitution.Substitution.Chain.Step.ForDelegation.
