- org.springframework.core.annotation.RepeatableContainers

```
public abstract class RepeatableContainers
extends Object
```
Strategy used to determine annotations that act as containers for other annotations. The standardRepeatables() method provides a default strategy that respects Java's @Repeatable support and should be suitable for most situations.
The of(java.lang.Class<? extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation>, java.lang.Class<? extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation>) method can be used to register relationships for annotations that do not wish to use @Repeatable.
To completely disable repeatable support use none().

Method Summary

All Methods Static Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`RepeatableContainers`	`and(Class<? extends Annotation> container, Class<? extends Annotation> repeatable)`	Add an additional explicit relationship between a contained and repeatable annotation.
`boolean`	`equals(Object other)`
`int`	`hashCode()`
`static RepeatableContainers`	`none()`	Create a `RepeatableContainers` instance that does not expand any repeatable annotations.
`static RepeatableContainers`	`of(Class<? extends Annotation> repeatable, Class<? extends Annotation> container)`	Create a `RepeatableContainers` instance that uses a defined container and repeatable type.
`static RepeatableContainers`	`standardRepeatables()`	Create a `RepeatableContainers` instance that searches using Java's `@Repeatable` annotation.

public RepeatableContainers and(Class<? extends Annotation> container,
                                Class<? extends Annotation> repeatable)
```
    Add an additional explicit relationship between a contained and repeatable annotation.
    Parameters:
    container - the container type
    repeatable - the contained repeatable type
    Returns:
    a new RepeatableContainers instance

public static RepeatableContainers of(Class<? extends Annotation> repeatable,

                                      Class<? extends Annotation> container)
```
    Create a RepeatableContainers instance that uses a defined container and repeatable type.
    Parameters:
    repeatable - the contained repeatable annotation
    container - the container annotation or null. If specified, this annotation must declare a value attribute returning an array of repeatable annotations. If not specified, the container will be deduced by inspecting the @Repeatable annotation on repeatable.
    Returns:
    a RepeatableContainers instance
  - none
```
public static RepeatableContainers none()
```
    Create a RepeatableContainers instance that does not expand any repeatable annotations.
    Returns:
    a RepeatableContainers instance
