I want to get the value of other property in scope of annotation.

example

@WebMethod(operationName = "GetBatchCount", action = NAMESPACE + getOperationName())

getOperationName() should return value set to operationName.

Is it possible?

From JLS §9.7.1 (emphasis is mine) the following are allowed combinations in element-value pairs:

The type of V is assignment compatible (§5.2) with T, and furthermore:

  • If T is a primitive type or String, and V is a constant expression (§15.28).
  • V is not null.
  • If T is Class, or an invocation of Class, and V is a class literal (§15.8.2).
  • If T is an enum type, and V is an enum constant.

So, as you can see, value can be only a constant of sorts.

No, you cannot use a method inside the parameter block of an annotation.
