[shrinkwrap-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (SHRINKDESC-33) Descriptors API forces classloading for configuration

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SHRINKDESC-33?page=com.atlassian.jira.plu... ] Michal Matloka updated SHRINKDESC-33: ------------------------------------- Description: The beans descriptor contains methods for specifying various interceptors, decorators, and alternatives, but requires that the Class<?> instance for said artifacts be provided to the API. This is not practical because it requires that the target classes be Classloaded in order for descriptor alteration to take place. Descriptor APIs should accept String values wherever a qualified Class name is required by the descriptor. It should not be assumed that the class instance is available: {noformat} public interface BeansDescriptor extends Descriptor { BeansDescriptor interceptors(String... classes); BeansDescriptor interceptor(String clazz); BeansDescriptor decorators(String... classes); BeansDescriptor decorator(String clazz); BeansDescriptor alternativeClasses(String... classes); BeansDescriptor alternativeClass(String clazz); BeansDescriptor alternativeStereotypes(String... annotations); BeansDescriptor alternativeStereotype(String clazz); BeansDescriptor interceptors(Class<?>... classes); BeansDescriptor interceptor(Class<?> clazz); BeansDescriptor decorators(Class<?>... classes); BeansDescriptor decorator(Class<?> clazz); BeansDescriptor alternativeClasses(Class<?>... classes); BeansDescriptor alternativeClass(Class<?> clazz); BeansDescriptor alternativeStereotypes(Class<? extends Annotation>... annotations); BeansDescriptor alternativeStereotype(Class<? extends Annotation> clazz); } {noformat} was: The beans descriptor contains methods for specifying various interceptors, decorators, and alternatives, but requires that the Class<?> instance for said artifacts be provided to the API.
