Re: [webbeans-dev] Web Bean discovery

This is trivial to do in JBoss5. ;-) http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/webbeans-ri-int/trunk/mic... module.visit(visitor, ClassFilter.INSTANCE, null, urls.toArray(new URL[urls.size()])); You only need to replace this ClassFilter parameter. e.g. some Javassist based filter --> no need to load the class to inspect it You could then organize your 'store' accordingly to the filter. e.g. CombinedFilter(modifier, type, ...) --> push to sub-store Pete Muir wrote: > I was talking to Gavin about this, and he suggested that the > discovery should be more flexible and allow selectors/restrictions > to be applied to the classes discovered (for example, only abstract > classes). > I can only speak about JBoss5, but I suspect this approach is > common - JBoss allows you to attach a visitor to the deployer and > allows you to do something with classes it finds (e.g. store them > in some data structure).
