Andy Wilkinson opened SPR-12357 and commented

I noticed this while testing the fix for #16930. I was running an app on Tomcat 8 (where javax.annotation.Priority is available).

OrderUtils.getPriority calls Class.getAnnotations() directly so it doesn't benefit from the recent improvements to AnnotationUtils' diagnostics. Could OrderUtils.getPriority be updated to use AnnotationUtils in a similar fashion to OrderUtils.getOrder?

Affects: 4.1.1

• AnnotationUtils provides poor diagnostics if getDeclaredAnnotations throws an exception [SPR-12325] #16930 AnnotationUtils provides poor diagnostics if getDeclaredAnnotations throws an exception
• be more defensive looking up javax.annotation.Priority (jdk6 compatibility) [SPR-12489] #17095 be more defensive looking up javax.annotation.Priority (jdk6 compatibility)
