If I use the Kotlin annotations, it doesn't work...if not, everything is OK...

vadimvera: which kotlin version you used?

I'm using version

1.1.2-2

in a Spring Boot project

@x80486 which annotation processors are you using? If it’s Spring’s annotation processor, it’s probably looking for Java annotations and not Kotlin annotations.

It might be something related with that. The Koltin ones:

@kotlin.annotation.Retention(AnnotationRetention.RUNTIME)

and

@kotlin.annotation.Target(AnnotationTarget.TYPE)

don't work; I use the Java ones (

java.lang.annotation.*

), everything is fine...so in the end it may be a Spring thing 😁

It’s been a while since I used spring, but the default used to be AOP, aspectJ is more powerful and could potentially process those Kotlin annotations, but that’s a rabbit hole that still gives me nightmares.
