Element Detail

inherit

public abstract boolean inherit

May be used to indicate the presence of this annotation on the field referring to the object should be used to determine if this field should be delayed.

For example, LifecycleAwareList is a delegating list wrapper and since it implements the List interface is treated as a List rather than a Copyable when performing a deep copy. The presence of with inherit() set to true on the delegate indicates that the items in the delegated list should be delayed only if the undelegated list reference also has the DelayedCopy annotation.

Returns:

True if the parent field determines whether or not to delay copying the field, false to always delay copy of the annotated field.

Default:

false
