Custom OpenMRS annotations available to core and modules:
@Authorize
This is used on API interface methods to restrict access to the current user (Context.getAuthenticatedUser()) if they don't have a certain privilege.
Parameters
value (default) - An array of Strings
A list of string privilege names to restrict to.
example: @Authorized(OpenmrsConstants.PRIV_VIEW_CONCEPTS) will allow the user to run the method only if they have the privilege
example: @Authorized({OpenmrsConstants.PRIV_VIEW_CONCEPTS, OpenmrsConstants.PRIV_VIEW_CONCEPTS}) will allow the user to run that method if they have either privilege
requireAll - boolean, defaults to false
If true, will require that the user have each privilege defined in the "value" attribute
example: @Authorized(value={OpenmrsConstants.PRIV_VIEW_CONCEPTS, OpenmrsConstants.PRIV_VIEW_CONCEPTS}, requireAll=true) will allow the user to run that method if they have both privilege
@Logging
All methods in the OpenMRS API will log to "info" with their parameter values. (errors go to log.error, and execution time to log.trace).
Use this annotation in order to prevent sensitive parameter values from being logged (UserService.saveUser(user, password)).
Parameters
ignoreAllArgumentValues - boolean, defaults to false
If true, will not print any parameter name or parameter values
ignoredArgumentIndexes - an array of integers
@Handler
This annotation serves as a general mechanism for providing metadata about a class that serves as a 'Handler' for another class or classes.
Spring automatically finds all handlers for a given class and groups them. This way programmers can request them easily and act on them.
Parameters
supports - An array of classes
