A little off topic, and maybe I'm missing something.. but shouldn't javax.enterprise.util.AnnotationLiteral ignore any @NonBinding members in its equals() test?  Or is that handled elsewhere?   @Override   public boolean equals(Object other)   {      if (other instanceof Annotation)      {         Annotation that = (Annotation) other;         if (this.annotationType().equals(that.annotationType()))         {            for (Method member : members)            {               Object thisValue = invoke(member, this);               Object thatValue = invoke(member, that);               if (thisValue.getClass().isArray() && thatValue.getClass().isArray())               {                  if (!Arrays.equals(Object[].class.cast(thisValue), Object[].class.cast(thatValue)))                  {                     return false;                  }               }               else if (!thisValue.equals(thatValue))               {                  return false;               }            }            return true;         }      }      return false;   } On 30/11/09 13:39, Stuart Douglas wrote: > > Sorry, I forgot to CC in seam-dev > ________________________________________ > From: Gavin King [gavin.king(a)gmail.com] > Sent: Monday, 30 November 2009 2:39 PM > To: Stuart Douglas > Subject: Re: [seam-dev] First cab off the rank! > > Yes, you're right.
