Gets all fields with a specific annotation on the field or the getter

I need to use some way to get all fields that are annotated with a specific annotation. The annotation may be at the field or the getter (of a super class), like



public MyClass 

@MyAnnotation
String myName;

int myAge;

@MyAnnotation
int getMyAge() return myAge;



So I need Field getAllAnnotatedFields(MyClass.class, MyAnnotation.class).



I could write that method on my own, but I wonder, if there exists some util method. (I cannot found one in Apache commons, Guava or Google reflections).

  • Why just not use reflection from java ?

  • @SchiduLuca Yes, that's possible, but I think, that someone has done that before and that there must some util class for that in some library.

  • While searching for this utility you could make your own util method, is not that hard anyway

    Okay. I have done it on my own using some reflection util methods ;)

  • @t777 if you solved own question then it would be still nice to post answer ;) Someone might later find that question from google or stack search and will only see that you solved it.

This is my solution using Apache commons:



public static Collection<String> getPropertyNamesListWithAnnotation(Class<?> targetClass, Class<? extends Annotation> annotationClass) 
Set<String> fieldNamesWithAnnotation = FieldUtils.getFieldsListWithAnnotation(targetClass, annotationClass).stream().map(Field::getName).collect(Collectors.toSet());
fieldNamesWithAnnotation.addAll(MethodUtils.getMethodsListWithAnnotation(targetClass, annotationClass, true, false).stream()
.map(Method::getName)
.filter(LangHelper::isValidGetterOrSetter)
.map(name -> StringUtils.uncapitalize(RegExUtils.replaceFirst(name, "^(get

private static boolean isValidGetterOrSetter(String methodName)
if (!StringUtils.startsWithAny(methodName, "get", "set", "is"))
LOG.warn("Annotated method is no valid getter or setter: '' -> Ignoring", methodName);
return false;

return true;
