[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (CDI-128) Ability to access CDI enhanced metadata from the InvocationContext.getMethod()

Ability to access CDI enhanced metadata from the InvocationContext.getMethod() ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: CDI-128 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-128 Project: CDI Specification Issues Issue Type: Feature Request Affects Versions: 1.0 Reporter: Richard Hightower Fix For: TBD The issues with InvocationContext is it was designed before CDI as part of EJB 3. In CDI, the meta-data will likely exist in an annotation, but it could exist in an XML file (Candi, and Seam XML Extension for CDI). For example, I am working on creating a standard interceptor for JCache 107. I can read the annotation from the getMethod of the InvocationContext, but if someone added the interception meta-data in an XML file, then it will not be available to InvocationContext.getMethod().getAnnotation(Cacheable.class). I propose we have an extension interface that extends InvocationContext called CDIInvocationContext that has a getAnnotated. This way if someone annotates in an XML file, then it is available to implementors for interceptors.
