User Entity Annotations not working on private fields.
------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBSEAM-3511
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-3511
             Project: Seam
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Security
    Affects Versions: 2.1.0.CR1
            Reporter: Ton Rijssen


Caused by: org.jboss.seam.security.management.IdentityManagementException: Invalid userClass nl.xxx.xxx.User - required annotation @UserRoles not found on any Field or Method.
    at org.jboss.seam.security.management.JpaIdentityStore.initProperties(JpaIdentityStore.java:138)
    at org.jboss.seam.security.management.JpaIdentityStore.init(JpaIdentityStore.java:111)
    at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method)

When the JpaIdentityStore is initialized, the classes are checked on certain required annotations. 
The AnnotatedBeanProperty's method scanForProperty is used to check these required annotations.
The annotations targets are METHOD and FIELD, and should be used in that way. (do not care about private or public identifiers)

getFields() is used to retrieve the class fields. This method only returns the public fields.
getDeclaredFields() however returns public protected and private fields.
