Symfony2 custom annotations for objects - symfony

Question

Does anyone know if it's possible to have a bundle use the annotation reader to read new custom annotations for non Doctrine objects? Everything I've seen so far is either for a controller or to extend Doctrine in some way.
What I'd like to be able to do is something like this:
class MyTestClass {
/**
* #MyBundleName\Foo
*/
public $foo_var;
/**
* #MyBundleName\Bar
*/
public $bar_var;
}
And then have some code that when given an instance of MyTestClass could work out which annotation applied to which attribute.

Answer 1

Right, bit more digging into how Doctrine does this and I think I know how to do it. So if anyone else needs to do this here's how I'm doing it (would be appreciative of any feedback)
I have a service that I'm using to read the annotations so in config.yml I've included the annotation_reader service which provides access to the methods to read your annotations.
Each annotation needs to resolve to a class and the class must extend the base Doctrine annotation class, so to do the Foo annotation from my question you'd do something like:
namespace MyBundleName
class Foo extends \Doctrine\Common\Annotations\Annotation {
}
Then you can read the annotations by doing:
$class = get_class($object);
foreach(object_get_vars($object) as $fieldname => $val){
//$this->annotationReader is an instance of the annotation_reader service
$annotations = $this->annotationReader
->getPropertyAnnotations(
new \ReflectionProperty($class, $fieldName)
);
//$annotations will now contain an array of matched annotations, most likely just an instance of the annotation class created earlier
}
Hope that can be of use to someone else!
