AnnotatedMetaDataLoader will give back the wrong component meta data retrieval if the method signature was obtained via a constructor which does not take Method. So the work-around is to use make sure that constructor is used. That leaves ejb3 meta data bridge, which for the moment I'm going to refactor onto Method. What is the exact function of MethodSignature as opposed to Method? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4170045#...
