#163 Javancss error while parsing annotated interface.

[Guillermo Steren]

While parsing an interface for a spring mvc controller, cobertura does not seem to understand annotations:

The file looks like :

@RequestMapping("/acontroller")
public interface IController {

public static final String INDEX_VIEW = "acontroller.index";

/* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Business Methods ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ */
@RequestMapping("/")
public abstract ModelAndView forwardToHomePage();

/**
* This method should do something.
* @param applicationId
* @param accountName
* @return a {@link JqGridJSonPage} object populated.
*/
@RequestMapping(value = "/getaccount", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public @ResponseBody
abstract JqGridJSonPage getAccount(@RequestParam(value = "applicationId", required = false) Integer applicationId, @RequestParam(value = "accountName", required = false) String accountName);
}
