Viewing overridden annotations

The Annotations view detects if the value of an annotation or a parameter has been overridden by a deployment descriptor value.

Before you begin

In the Java™ EE perspective, if the Annotations view does not display in the workspace, add the Annotations view. For more information, see Annotations view.

Procedure

  1. In the Enterprise Explorer view, double-click your Java class to open the file in the Java editor.
  2. Click the Annotations view tab.
  3. Highlight the annotation that you want to view.
  4. The annotation view indicates values that are overridden by deployment descriptor values:
    Override attribute

    By hovering over the Override icon (Override icon) , you can see the default value for the attribute.
