Given the following improperly configured composed @RequestMapping
annotation:
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@RequestMapping
@interface PostApi {
@AliasFor("value")
String[] path() default {};
@AliasFor(annotation = RequestMapping.class, attribute = "path")
String[] value() default {};
}
Prior to this commit, an attempt to process the above annotation
resulted in an exception similar to the following, which is not
especially helpful to discern the problem.
> Attribute 'value' in annotation [PostApi] must be declared as an
> @AliasFor 'path', not 'path'.
This commit improves the exception message for such scenarios,
resulting in an exception message similar to the following.
> Attribute 'value' in annotation [PostApi] must be declared as an
> @AliasFor attribute 'path' in annotation [PostApi], not attribute
> 'path' in annotation [RequestMapping].
Closes gh-24168
