I created a method level java custom annotation like below

@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Target(ElementType.METHOD)
public @interface Test {

    public String id() default "0";
}

Test Class:

public class test {

    @Test
    @Test(id = "231")
    public void test_section(){
        Assert.assertTrue(false);
    }   
}

i was able to use the value of id using below code line

result.getMethod().getConstructorOrMethod().getMethod().getAnnotation(Test.class).id();

Now i want to create a class level custom java annotation as below

@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Target(ElementType.TYPE)
public @interface section {

    public String Name() default "0";   
}

and use the same annotation in my test class and get the value of Name in the testng listener ITestListener onTestStart method as i am using testng to execute the test case, below is the test class

@section(Name="u_id")
public class testcustom {

    @Test
    public void test_section(){
        Assert.assertTrue(false);
    }   
}

I am unable to get the value of section, How to get the value of name in section annotation used on class level?

Just looking at the API, something like

void onTestStart(ITestResult result) {
  section annotation = result.getTestClass().getRealClass().getAnnotation(section.class);
  if (annotation != null) {
    // do something with annotation.Name()
  }
}

should work (note that Java naming conventions mean it should be Section and name() instead).
