ansur [https://community.jboss.org/people/ansur] created the discussion "JBoss extention doesn't find custom annotation" To view the discussion, visit: https://community.jboss.org/message/829694#829694 -------------------------------------------------------------- I'm building a JBoss extension which aims to detect a custom annotation being placed on an EJB implementation class. So the annotation is placed on the same level as @Singleton, @Stateless etc. My DeploymentUnitProcessor can detect the EJBs, but when I load the class like this: return moduleClassLoader.loadClass(viewDescription.getComponentDescription().getComponentClassName()); ... I do get the Class object, but it only shows the EJB annotation (e.g. @Singleton) being present, not my custom one. Obviously the RetentionPolicy is Runtime. Is this due to the fact that whatever JBoss module is inspecting the class, doesn't have a notion of my custom Annotation? And if this is so, which module is this, and could I register a dependency to the module containing my annotation at runtime? -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/829694#829694] Start a new discussion in JBoss AS 7 Development at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
