Are annotations inherited in java?

Question

Java

There are two classes
First:

@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)
public abstract class Parent implements Serializable

Second: So, will the @JsonIgnoreProperties annotation be performed on the Child class?
public class Child extends Parent

Answer 1

By default it will not be inherited. However, if the annotation is marked as Inherited , then it is inherited. Since most often annotations are not inherited, helpers can be used to search for annotations on a class and its parents, for example, the Spring Core library contains findAnnotations methods to search for specific annotations on a class (or its parents) or a method (or parent methods that are overridden by this method ).
Here is a good example explaining how Inherited works: tyrts .
