Reading an annotaion that is ElementType.LOCAL_VARIABLE

[cld71]

I have been trying read a ElementType.LOCAL_VARIABLE annotation using reflect package.
Here is my annotation:
@Target(value={ElementType.TYPE,ElementType.LOCAL_ VARIABLE})
@Retention(value=RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
public @interface TestAnnotation{
String theName();
}

Here is my program to try read the annotation:
public class TestTheAnnotation{
public static void main(String[] args){
@TestAnnotation(theName="My_LastName,My_FirstName" )
Integer id=new Integer(1);
System.out.println(">> "+id.getClass().getAnnotations().length);
System.out.println(">> "+id.getClass().getDeclaredAnnotations().lengt h);
}
}

The methods getAnnotations, and getDeclaredAnnotations only return the annotations declared for the object, but I want the annotation declared for the local variable.
Is there any way to do this?

Thanks.

Are http://www.java-forums.org and http://forums.oracle.com the same system?

Nope.

If they are not the same system what is wrong with posting in multiple forums? Do you spend your days looking at other forums to see if people post the same questions?!
