[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-132) Clarify which initial info AnnotatedType should contain

Clarify which initial info AnnotatedType should contain ------------------------------------------------------- Key: CDI-132 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-132 Project: CDI Specification Issues Issue Type: Clarification Components: Portable Extensions Reporter: Mark Struberg Assignee: Pete Muir Priority: Minor Fix For: 1.1.EDR1 The spec is not exactly clear about the initial content of AnnotatedType. When initially building the AnnotatedType (e.g. before handing it over to the Extensions) we need to pre-fill them with the info from the annotations from the classes. Should this AnnotatedType: 1.) contain no annotations from superclasses? 2.) contain all annotations from superclasses? 3.) contain @Inherited annotations from superclasses? I think the other questions already got cleared up in CDI-70: Should AnnotatedType contain derived public? protected? private? methods/fields from a superclass? Imo it should contain all information which would be available by manually parsing any annotations. In other words: it should be possible to completely modify or emulate annotations of a parsed type.
