Yes, was hoping for this auto-registration much like is done when installing a KernelRegistryPlugin (ie. picks up the interface and takes appropriate action). So the following works: // Install the BeanAnnotationAdapter w/ callback to add annotation plugins on install | BeanAnnotationAdapter beanAnnotationAdapter = BeanAnnotationAdapterFactory.getInstance() | .getBeanAnnotationAdapter(); | String beanAnnotationAdapterBindName = "ejb3.BeanAnnotationAdapter"; | BeanMetaDataBuilder bmdb = BeanMetaDataBuilder.createBuilder(beanAnnotationAdapterBindName, beanAnnotationAdapter | .getClass().getName()); | bmdb.addMethodInstallCallback("addAnnotationPlugin"); | controller.install(bmdb.getBeanMetaData(), beanAnnotationAdapter); ...course, I still gotta hardcode that "addAnnotationPlugin" method as a String... ;) S, ALR View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4195699#...
