[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-194) Allow AnnotatedType for a given Bean to be obtained

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-194?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.sy... ] Vivian Steller commented on CDI-194: ------------------------------------ +1 adding getAnnotated...() to Bean. IMO sophisticated support for working with Annotated* is one of the strongest features of CDI in the context of framework development and really a missing thing in plain Java: an indirection layer for annotating types. Implemented against CDI's annotated type facility, framework developers gain XML configurability of their beans out-of-the-box (with the XML config extension by Seam3/DeltaSpike). This is just cool! One tiny issue is remaining though: frameworks on top of CDI cannot honor abstract types, since these aren't regular CDI beans. Thus no ProcessX events, no annotated types etc. which is a bit sad. But I guess recognizing abstract types as Beans (yet not injectable ones) is a bit too much? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
