I've created this JIRA issue: - http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBMICROCONT-217 And I've already commited some initial code - in order to not loose it while I'm doing other things. :-) The idea that I had is to crawl up and down the tree and along the way create appropriate metadata - see current implementation. What kind of semantics should we use to define bean metadata? Any special request or directions regarding analogy with XML?
