unable to print annotation value

[Jigeshs Shahs]

Hi All,
I am using a selenium+cuke4duke tool to perform some GUI Testing and I am facing an issue with annotations

For a particular method i am using an assertion and this method calls another method of a different class
For e.g Method1 of class 1 is using assetion1 and Method1 calls Method2 which is in class2, now when the code is getting executed in method 2 what I want is that it should print the annotation of method1 .
Is there any way through which I can do it
The code for both the files are given below
StuffSteps.java---This file contains anotation

package com.pearson.psn.fixture.LRD; 

import java.lang.annotation.Annotation; 
import java.lang.reflect.Method; 
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat; 
import java.util.Calendar; 
import org.junit.AfterClass; 
import org.junit.BeforeClass; 

import junit.framework.Assert; 


import com.pearson.psn.common.SuccessNetCommon; 
import com.pearson.psn.dsl.SeleniumUtil; 
import com.thoughtworks.selenium.SeleneseTestCase; 

import cuke4duke.Given; 
import cuke4duke.Then; 
import cuke4duke.When; 
import cuke4duke.After; 
import cuke4duke.Before; 

public class StuffSteps extends SeleneseTestCase{ 

    public StuffSteps() throws Exception{ 
        selenium = SuccessNetCommon.selenium; 
    } 


    @Given("I haveeee a saussage") 
    public void intentionallyPending() throws Exception{ 
    } 

    @Then("I shouldfff have stomach") 
    public void iShouldHaveNCukes()throws Exception { 

        tpComm tp1= new tpComm(); 
        tp1.comm(); 
    } 
    @Given("I haveeee a saussage1") 
    public void intentionallyPending1() throws Exception{ 
    } 
    @Then("I shouldfff have stomach1") 
    public void iShouldHaveNCukes1()throws Exception { 

    } 
} 

tpcomm ---- this is a temporary file for testing pupose here i tried to print the annonation @Then("I shouldfff have stomach") which is present in method iShouldHaveNCukes()

package com.pearson.psn.fixture.LRD; 
import java.lang.annotation.Annotation; 
import java.lang.reflect.Method; 

public class tpComm { 



    public void comm() throws Exception{ 

        StackTraceElement[] stacktrace = Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace(); 
        StackTraceElement e=stacktrace[2]; 


        Class clazz =Class.forName(e.getClassName()); 
        System.out.println(clazz.getName()); 
        Method m[] = clazz.getDeclaredMethods(); 
        System.out.println(m[0].getName()); 
        Method m1 = clazz.getMethod(m[0].getName()); 

        Annotation[] annotations = clazz.getAnnotations(); 

        for(Annotation anno : annotations) { 

            System.out.println("Annotation Type: " + anno.annotationType()); 

        } 

        System.out.println(m1.getName()); 
        System.out.println(annotations.length); 

        //System.out.println(m.getName()); 
        String methodName = e.getMethodName(); 

        String ClassName = e.getClassName(); 

        //System.out.println(methodName); 
        //System.out.println(ClassName); 

    } 
}

Please UseCodeTags next time, and don't forget to add proper indentation to your code when posting it. I've had to add both.

thanks ....i lll take care of it next tym onwards..
is there any solution for the query that I asked

You're using clazz.getAnnotations(), which returns the annotations for the class - not for fields, methods, nested classes etc, but only the class itself. To get the method annotations, you'll need to loop through your methods and call getAnnotations() for each of them separately.
