Please, I 'd like an explanation regarding the Roo annotations (for testing)

[jbbarquero]

Hello,

I have an integration test, with the limit for the find all expanded in the Roo annotation:

@RooIntegrationTest(entity = Account.class, findAllMaximum=500)
public class AccountIntegrationTest {

I need another test and I'd like to use the value from this annotation, but it doesn't work:

    @Test
    public void testFindAccountsByAmountGreaterThan() {
        //...
        long count = Account.countAccounts();
        //It doesn't work either with this.getClass().getAnnotation...
        int findAllMaximum = AccountIntegrationTest .class.getAnnotation(RooIntegrationTest.class).findAllMaximum();

It seems the Roo annotations doesnt' belong to the class, the red line throws a NullPointerException.

Debugging (AccountIntegrationTest.class.getAnnotations()) I can see this class has:
@org.junit.runner.RunWith
@org.springframework.test.context.ContextConfigura tion
@org.springframework.transaction.annotation.Transa ctional
@org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Conf igurable

Am I doing something wrong, or is this the expected behavour?

Roo annotations have compile-time retention, which means you can't read their values at runtime.

Thank you very much.

I have to pay more attention to the things I'm doing (I'm afraid yesterday was a bad day for me)

It's OK, we all have days like that! I did think it was an odd question coming from a user as experienced as you!

Thank you very much, indeed.

It's really a pleasure to participate in the Spring community.

Greetings.
