No, the injection container handles all metadata, be it from xml or annoations. The concern is that its using a different metadata set and parser so there is duplicate effort going on. This needs to be fixed by the unified metadata view. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3986579#...
