[jboss-dev-forums] [JBoss Microcontainer Development] - Re: Dependency on non-existant bean when trying to create

Yes, this is somehow expected. PropertyMD --> ValueMD --> BeanMD --> inner bean --> dependency AbstractValueMD::getChildren doesn't distinguish between plain properly value and metadata value. Normally MC metadata should be hidden for POJOs, so I wouldn't put too much effort into this --> would go with a wrapper. Perhaps you can add this to BMDBuilder: | <T> T wrap(T impl, Class<T> clazz) | { | return new MetaDataWrapper<T>(impl, clazz); | } | | public class MetaDataWrapper<T> | { | T impl; | Class<T> clazz; | | public MetaDataWrapper(T impl, Class<T> clazz) { ... } | | public T unwrap() { return impl; } | } | which hides the actual metadata in generic way.
