Veer Muchandi [https://community.jboss.org/people/v_m] created the discussion "Does JBoss AS7 support runtime annotation processing for Metamodel using javax.persistence.metamodel.EntityType?" To view the discussion, visit: https://community.jboss.org/message/718919#718919 -------------------------------------------------------------- I am trying to use runtime annotation processing by using  javax.persistence.metamodel.EntityType as given in the http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/6/tutorial/doc/gjiup.html http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/6/tutorial/doc/gjiup.html h3. Using Metamodel Classes Metamodel classes that correspond to entity classes are of the following type: javax.persistence.metamodel.EntityType<T> Metamodel classes are typically generated by annotation processors either at development time or at runtime. Developers of applications that use Criteria queries may generate static metamodel classes by using the persistence provider’s annotation processor or may obtain the metamodel class by either calling the getModel method on the query root object or first obtaining an instance of the Metamodel interface and then passing the entity type to the instance’s entity method. The following code snippet shows how to obtain the Pet entity’s metamodel class by calling Root<T>.getModel: EntityManager em = ...; CriteriaBuilder cb = em.getCriteriaBuilder(); CriteriaQuery cq = cb.createQuery(Pet.class); Root<Pet> pet = cq.from(Pet.class); EntityType<Pet> Pet_ = pet.getModel(); The following code snippet shows how to obtain the Pet entity’s metamodel class by first obtaining a metamodel instance by using EntityManager.getMetamodel and then calling entity on the metamodel instance: EntityManager em = ...; Metamodel m = em.getMetamodel(); EntityType<Pet> Pet_ = m.entity(Pet.class); When I try to deploy this code into JBoss, there are no errors. But at run time I get the following errors. name, itemBrand, itemCategory and itemSubCategory below are the attributes of my entity (like the Pet class above). org.jboss.resteasy.spi.UnhandledException: java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problems: name cannot be resolved or is not a field itemBrand cannot be resolved or is not a field itemCategory cannot be resolved or is not a field itemSubCategory cannot be resolved or is not a field org.jboss.resteasy.core.SynchronousDispatcher.unwrapException(SynchronousDispatcher.java:345) org.jboss.resteasy.core.SynchronousDispatcher.unwrapException(SynchronousDispatcher.java:341) org.jboss.resteasy.core.SynchronousDispatcher.handleApplicationException(SynchronousDispatcher.java:321) org.jboss.resteasy.core.SynchronousDispatcher.handleException(SynchronousDispatcher.java:214) org.jboss.resteasy.core.SynchronousDispatcher.handleInvokerException(SynchronousDispatcher.java:190) org.jboss.resteasy.core.SynchronousDispatcher.getResponse(SynchronousDispatcher.java:534) org.jboss.resteasy.core.SynchronousDispatcher.invoke(SynchronousDispatcher.java:496) org.jboss.resteasy.core.SynchronousDispatcher.invoke(SynchronousDispatcher.java:119) org.jboss.resteasy.plugins.server.servlet.ServletContainerDispatcher.service(ServletContainerDispatcher.java:208) org.jboss.resteasy.plugins.server.servlet.HttpServletDispatcher.service(HttpServletDispatcher.java:55) org.jboss.resteasy.plugins.server.servlet.HttpServletDispatcher.service(HttpServletDispatcher.java:50) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:847) org.jboss.weld.servlet.ConversationPropagationFilter.doFilter(ConversationPropagationFilter.java:67) The jboss documentation does not talk about runtime metamodel generation.
