它是基于XML的替代品吗 配置吗?

不完全如此，但是与代码结构紧密对应的配置(例如JPA映射或Spring中的依赖注入)通常可以用注释代替，这样通常就不那么冗长、烦人和痛苦了。几乎所有著名的框架都进行了这种转换，尽管旧的XML配置通常仍然是一种选项。

注释是添加到Java源文件中的元数据(关于数据的数据)的一种形式。框架主要使用它们来简化客户端代码的集成。下面是我脑海中浮现的几个真实的例子:

JUnit 4 - you add the @Test annotation to each test method you want the JUnit runner to run. There are also additional annotations to do with setting up testing (like @Before and @BeforeClass). All these are processed by the JUnit runner, which runs the tests accordingly. You could say it's an replacement for XML configuration, but annotations are sometimes more powerful (they can use reflection, for example) and also they are closer to the code they are referencing to (the @Test annotation is right before the test method, so the purpose of that method is clear - serves as documentation as well). XML configuration on the other hand can be more complex and can include much more data than annotations can. Terracotta - uses both annotations and XML configuration files. For example, the @Root annotation tells the Terracotta runtime that the annotated field is a root and its memory should be shared between VM instances. The XML configuration file is used to configure the server and tell it which classes to instrument. Google Guice - an example would be the @Inject annotation, which when applied to a constructor makes the Guice runtime look for values for each parameter, based on the defined injectors. The @Inject annotation would be quite hard to replicate using XML configuration files, and its proximity to the constructor it references to is quite useful (imagine having to search to a huge XML file to find all the dependency injections you have set up).

希望我已经让您了解了在不同框架中如何使用注释。

像Hibernate这样的框架需要大量的配置/映射，大量使用annotation。

注释可以在哪里使用

注释可以应用于声明:类、字段、方法和其他程序元素的声明。在声明上使用时，根据约定，每个注释通常出现在自己的行上。

Java SE 8 Update:注释也可以应用于类型的使用。下面是一些例子:

类实例创建表达式: @Interned MyObject(); 类型转换: myString =(@非空字符串)str; 实现条款: 类UnmodifiableList实现 @Readonly List<@Readonly T>{…｝ 抛出的异常声明: void monitorTemperature()抛出 @临界温度异常{…｝

下面是一些可以使用注释的地方。

a. Annotations can be used by compiler to detect errors and suppress warnings
b. Software tools can use annotations to generate code, xml files, documentation etc., For example, Javadoc use annotations while generating java documentation for your class.
c. Runtime processing of the application can be possible via annotations.
d. You can use annotations to describe the constraints (Ex: @Null, @NotNull, @Max, @Min, @Email).
e. Annotations can be used to describe type of an element. Ex: @Entity, @Repository, @Service, @Controller, @RestController, @Resource etc.,
f. Annotation can be used to specify the behaviour. Ex: @Transactional, @Stateful
g. Annotation are used to specify how to process an element. Ex: @Column, @Embeddable, @EmbeddedId
h. Test frameworks like junit and testing use annotations to define test cases (@Test), define test suites (@Suite) etc.,
i. AOP (Aspect Oriented programming) use annotations (@Before, @After, @Around etc.,)
j. ORM tools like Hibernate, Eclipselink use annotations
