[jboss-dev-forums] [Design the new POJO MicroContainer] - Re: Field signature usage

What are you talking about? BeanInfo/Reflection is not based on the metadata repository. It is the other way around. anonymous wrote : | 2) Doing normal fields inspection | This would require a change to AnnotatedElementMetaDataLoader, since currently only public fields are supported. | Dealing with possible duplicates, e.g. existing only setter + FIELDS|ALL mode | If you've done the field properties correctly, then this should just be a case of using propertyInfo.get(Underlying)Annotations() i.e. no getters/setters means use the field to get the annotations, but this is all hidden from the caller - they are "property annotations" View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4137036#...
