Hi,

I'm new to Java Annotation. I know how to create custom annotation but I don't know how to process that Annotation to generate the dynamic code just like ejb 3.0 and hibernate does.
I read some articles based on APT but no one gives the details about how to process the Annotation.
Are there any tutorials with sample code for processing custom Annotations?

Thanks
