Nothing changed in metadata. However, due to the Servlet spec, I had
to switch back to using the old annotation deployer rather than
OptAnnotationMetaDataDeployer to process the stuff that is in WARs.
Yeah, that's what I meant.
But like I said, the problem is in how Metadata uses this info.
Instead of just pull model, we have a push-pull-push model. :-)
could become a problem for WARs with tons of JARs.
This is something you cannot do much faster.
The fact is that you have to scan everything the users expects to be
scanned,
and mostly this is everything, small or huge, doesn't matter.
The things that (should/will) help here are:
* scan only once, everybody else just uses this info,
no additional scanning; which is not the case atm
* restrict what should be scanned; jboss-scanning.xml
* use exact class import/export info; osgi/jboss-classloading.xml
* pre-indexed scanning; META-INF/anns.ser
Right, the grouping per location is the extra feature that is needed
for Servlet 3.0.
I/We will add this once we decide what to do.
Which current impl we actually use and maintain. ;-)
