[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-320) Clarify whether ProcessAnnotatedType should be fired for annotations

[Antoine Sabot-Durand (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-320?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12954308#comment-12954308 ] 

Antoine Sabot-Durand commented on CDI-320:
------------------------------------------

Your quote of the spec seems a bit old.
The current spec says

{quote}
The container must fire an event, before it processes a type, for:
• every Java class, interface or enum discovered
• each Java class, interface or enum that must be delivered to a ProcessAnnotatedType observer, where the event parameter
is annotated with @WithAnnotations.
{quote}

I think the use case of adding an annotation thru an {{AnnotatedType}} in {{BeforeBeanDiscovery.addAnnotatedType()}} or {{AferTypeDiscovery.addAnnotatedType()}} is very unlikely, but we could change the previous wording  by

{quote}
The container must fire an event, before it processes a type, for:
• every Java class, interface or enum discovered
• *every {{AnnotatedType}} representing a Java class, interface or enum added by {{BeforeBeanDiscovery.addAnnotatedType()}} or {{AferTypeDiscovery.addAnnotatedType()}}*
• each Java class, interface or enum that must be delivered to a ProcessAnnotatedType observer, where the event parameter
is annotated with @WithAnnotations.

> It should be stated clearly whether {{ProcessAnnotatedType}} should be fired for annotations.

> {quote}
> The container must fire an event, before it processes a type, for each:
> * Java class, interface or enum in a bean archive,

> The word "annotation" has been introduced into the above line and later reverted.

> The wording used here, however, doesn't exclude the option of the annotated type being an Annotation.
