If you mean it isn't a MetaDataContext in the first place, that's not going to happen in practice for the real scoped metadata used by applications, but if it were true then it would represent only be a single local scope. So the code would be: | if (retrieval instanceof MetaDataContext && scopeFoundInContext()) | createBridgeForNewContextOfLocalRetrievals(); | else if (singleRetrievalMatchesScope()) | createBridgeForRetrieval(); | else | // Not found | return null; | View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4080857#...
