Laird Nelson commented on CDI-697:
----------------------------------
Yes. The current Javadocs actually seem to say explicitly that the behavior outlined here
is not what happens. See the [documentation for the {{fields()}}
method|http://docs.jboss.org/cdi/api/2.0-PRD/javax/enterprise/inject/spi/...],
which refers to the [documentation for the {{AnnotatedType#getFields()}}
method|http://docs.jboss.org/cdi/api/2.0-PRD/javax/enterprise/inject/spi/...].
Taken together, this basically states that {{fields()}} returns "the fields of the
type", which is not true—it returns the "fields of the type" as well as
those of every other type in the type hierarchy.
Provide delegating/forwarding implementations of the annotated type
model classes

Key: CDI-697
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-697
Project: CDI Specification Issues
Issue Type: Feature Request
Components: Portable Extensions
Reporter: Laird Nelson
Priority: Minor
A lot of duplicate efforts could be eliminated if the CDI SPI supplied delegating
implementations of each of the {{Annotated*}} SPI interfaces. These implementations would
assist in creating objects suitable for passing to
{{ProcessAnnotatedType#setAnnotatedType(AnnotatedType)}} (and the like) when the
configurator APIs prove to be too simplistic.
