Looks easy.... Just wondering wouldn't that make it an inconsistent look and feel from the way we have other annotations in seam like... | @Factory(value="pattern", scope=ScopeType.EVENT) | public String getSearchPattern() | { | return searchString==null ? | "%" : '%' + searchString.toLowerCase().replace('*', '%') + '%'; | } | Or is the idea that any annotation that has scope=* is meant purely to map components not to listen to them or provide any other behaviors.
