They don't handle generic dependency, but this is somehow equivalent to depends dependency. It's just that the info is much more natural + being already present also helps. :-) "anil.saldhana(a)jboss.com" wrote : | I was of the impression that these methods handled the metadata type passed to the deployer and the type of the attachment as output. | That too. ;-) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4121461#...
