As a Weld / CDI user I love it. After searching Google I don't find many people complaining about @StaticMetamodel. The new way to describe your meta-model. This doesn't seem thought through from my perspective, since most meta data is already described. What's the point and why do I have to re-constitute my data model in order satisfy CriteraBuilder. Am I on the wrong track here? What's the point? This to me seems like a wrong path, as it's in the code, already!? How come I get have to move from bloated XML code to bloated Annotated code? Why? Cheers PS! Why not make a way to encompass anomalies of already existing code. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/569405#569405] Start a new discussion in EJB3 at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
