I have
enum Operations {
OPERATION_NAME("operation/path");
private final String path;
Operations(String path) {
this.path = path;
}
public String path() {
return path;
}
}
I would like to use value of path on annotations on my REST API methods
@Path(Operations.OPERATION_NAME.path())
void operation() {
}
but java compiler complains
Attribute value must be constant
Is there a way to resolve that in java8?
I know I could have one enum with operation names and bunch of static String fields with paths (static Strings can be used as attribute in @Path annotation) but I do not like this approach.
