[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of POJO Server] - Use of jboss-reflect project

Adrian's rant is here for all projects to look at if they are using any kind of reflection to get to class info, methods etc. --------------------------- I'm very tempted not to respond to this thread since there's no reason why this discussion can't go on jboss-dev (other than it is a fork of a discussion about the tck which could be removed). I also don't see why this code exists since jboss-reflect is the project intended to have all this code. If you want to know one of the reasons why JBoss5 takes so long to boot, you only have to look at all the different projects doing their own reflection object processing/caching. Who knows how many times ejb3, aop, security, mdr, hibernate, microcontainer etc. scan a class for its methods/fields? If you look at the code in openjdk this involves lots of cloning of objects. Not to mention the unncessary overhead of trying to maintain and optimize the same routines over and over again. ----------------------------------------- View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4194661#...
