I want to know a class&#39;s some member variable&#39;s annotations , I use `BeanInfo beanInfo = Introspector.getBeanInfo(User.class)` to introspect a class , and use `BeanInfo.getPropertyDescriptors()` , to find specific property , and use Class&lt;?&gt; `type = propertyDescriptor.getPropertyType()` to get the property&#39;s Class .

But I don&#39;t know how to get the annotations added to the member variable ?

I tried `type.getAnnotations()` , and `type.getDeclaredAnnotations()` , but both return the Class&#39;s annotations , not what I want . For example :

    class User 
    {
      @Id
      private Long id;
      
      @Column(name=&quot;ADDRESS_ID&quot;)
      private Address address;

      // getters , setters
    }
    
    @Entity
    @Table(name = &quot;Address&quot;)
    @Cache(usage = CacheConcurrencyStrategy.NONSTRICT_READ_WRITE)
    class Address 
    {
      ...
    }


I want to get the address&#39;s annotation : @Column , not class Address&#39;s annotations (@Entity , @Table  , @Cache) . How to achieve it ? Thanks.
