To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/536928#536928 -------------------------------------------------------------- Yes, programmatically. But this would/should be trivial. e.g. if you take the grouping approach, your impl would already be provided with BeanMetaData instances. All you would need to do is wrap it with such code: BeanMetaData bmd = ...; BeanMetaDataBuilder builder = BeanMetaDataBuilder.create(bmd); builder.ignoreCreate(); // or which ever lifecycle state you wann ignore -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/536928#536928] Start a new discussion in JBoss Microcontainer at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
