I'm slowly adding more and more tests to this (resolved) issue: - http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=134098 I've added a deployer that knows how to scan newly added @Bean and @BeanFactory annotations - corresponding to MC beans and beanfactories. The code that does this is pretty simple: | public void deploy(DeploymentUnit unit, AnnotationEnvironment env) throws DeploymentException | { | Set<Class<?>> beans = env.classIsAnnotatedWith(Bean.class); | then you can do what ever you like with that information. ;-) This is what I do in my case (create new BeanMetaData if it doesn't exist yet): | for (Class<?> beanClass : beans) | { | Bean bean = beanClass.getAnnotation(Bean.class); | String name = bean.name(); | if (name == null) | throw new IllegalArgumentException("Null bean name: " + beanClass); | | DeploymentUnit component = components.get(name); | BeanMetaData bmd = null; | if (component != null) | bmd = component.getAttachment(BeanMetaData.class); | | if (bmd == null) | { | BeanMetaDataBuilder builder = BeanMetaDataBuilder.createBuilder(name, beanClass.getName()); | String[] aliases = bean.aliases(); | if (aliases != null && aliases.length > 0) | builder.setAliases(new HashSet<Object>(Arrays.asList(aliases))); | builder.setMode(bean.mode()) | .setAccessMode(bean.accessMode()) | .setAutowireType(bean.autowireType()) | .setErrorHandlingMode(bean.errorHandlingMode()) | .setAutowireCandidate(bean.autowireCandidate()); | | addBeanComponent(unit, builder.getBeanMetaData()); | } | For all those who missed recent annotations scanning work, this is the class that should be of interest - AnnotationEnvironment - simply pull it out from the right DeploymentUnit as attachment: | /** | * Information holder about annotation processing. | * | * @author <a href="mailto:ales.justin@jboss.com">Ales Justin</a> | */ | public interface AnnotationEnvironment | { | /** | * Get all classes annotated with annotation param. | * | * @param annotation the annotation we're querying for | * @return set of matching classes | */ | Set<Class<?>> classIsAnnotatedWith(Class<? extends Annotation> annotation); | | /** | * Get all classes who have some constructor annotated with annotation param. | * | * @param annotation the annotation we're querying for | * @return set of matching classes | */ | <A extends Annotation> Set<Element<A, Constructor>> classHasConstructorAnnotatedWith(Class<A> annotation); | | /** | * Get all classes who have some field annotated with annotation param. | * | * @param annotation the annotation we're querying for | * @return set of matching classes | */ | <A extends Annotation> Set<Element<A, Field>> classHasFieldAnnotatedWith(Class<A> annotation); | | /** | * Get all classes who have some method annotated with annotation param. | * | * @param annotation the annotation we're querying for | * @return set of matching classes | */ | <A extends Annotation> Set<Element<A, Method>> classHasMethodAnnotatedWith(Class<A> annotation); | | /** | * Get all classes who have some method's/constructor's parameter annotated with annotation param. | * | * @param annotation the annotation we're querying for | * @return set of matching classes | */ | <A extends Annotation> Set<Element<A, AccessibleObject>> classHasParameterAnnotatedWith(Class<A> annotation); | } | The code handles class loading lazily (Javassist + keeping weak ref to classloader from unit), meaning class won't get loaded until you actually need the information, e.g. AOP could modify it before.
