According to this thread http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4145455#... Ejb3Deployment is going to disappear. Any meta data retrieval should be delegated to JBossMetaData instead. How do we retrieve arbitrary annotation meta data in this case? Before EJB3 offered something like getAnnotation(Class c), which allowed me to pull any meta data regardless if it's derived from a deployment descriptor or an annotation. How do projects add annotation based meta data to the meta data project? I.e. WS defines @EndpointConfig. Does this mean I need to add parsing of that information to the MD project and release it before I can use it? Or is there a more generic way to access annotation based meta data?
