https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBKERNEL-64 On Monday, I'll try to get rid of this from AbstractAnnotationPlugin.apply/cleanAnnotation() | public final void applyAnnotation(T info, MetaData retrieval, MetaDataVisitor visitor) throws Throwable | { | boolean trace = log.isTraceEnabled(); | | if (isCleanupOnly() == false) | { | Class<C> annotationClass = getAnnotation(); | C annotation = retrieval.getAnnotation(annotationClass); | if (annotation == null) | { | if (trace) | log.trace("No annotation: " + annotationClass.getName()); | return; | } | if (isMetaDataAlreadyPresent(info, annotation, visitor.getControllerContext())) | ... | by changing it to | public final void applyAnnotation(T info, C annotation, MetaData retrieval, MetaDataVisitor visitor) throws Throwable | { | boolean trace = log.isTraceEnabled(); | | if (isMetaDataAlreadyPresent(info, annotation, visitor.getControllerContext())) | ... | Since this is now driven by the existing annotations the check is pointless View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4267830#...
