Before you can use Java annotations, you'll need to enable AOP support in your application. There are a number of different AOP frameworks so, unfortunately, there is no standard way to enable AOP in an application.

For AspectJ, you can review our https://github.com/apache/shiro/tree/main/samples/aspectj[AspectJ sample application].

For Spring, you can look into our link:/spring-framework.html[Spring Integration] documentation.

== Shiro's Java Annotations.

Once you have AOP enabled in our application, you can use Shiro's set of annotations found in the link:/java-annotations-list.html[Java Annotations List]
