Hi, Should these methods: public Set<Annotation> getInterceptorBindingTypeDefinition(Class<? extends Annotation> bindingType); public Set<Annotation> getStereotypeDefinition(Class<? extends Annotation> stereotype); which are defined to "obtain the set of meta-annotations declared by a stereotype or interceptor binding type," return the complete set of meta-annotations, or only those that are relevant to JSR-299?  I ask because I don't think the spec prohibits you from annotating a sterotype or interceptor binding type annotation with other annotations, but as a client of the above method I wouldn't expect to get back extra non-related stuff, based on the method name. -Clint -- Clint Popetz http://42lines.net Scalable Web Application Development _______________________________________________ webbeans-dev mailing list webbeans-dev(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/webbeans-dev

Hmm, I actually wasn't thinking of the distinction between JSR299 annotations and those added through the SPI; I was thinking of ether things like "@Inherited" and &quot;(a)SomethingCompletelyNonRelated.&quot; So I'll presume "no" on the above, and just return things defined by the spec or added by the SPI. I would suggest changing that line in the spec to "obtain the set of meta-annotations  declared by a stereotype or interceptor binding type that are related to this specification or added through the SPI." (Or something less verbose.) -Clint On Fri, Jun 5, 2009 at 2:44 PM, Gavin King&lt;gavin.king(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: > hrm, I'm inclined to say all meta-annotations (including annotations > passed to BeforeBeanDiscovery.addXxxxx()). > > On Thu, Jun 4, 2009 at 9:58 AM, Clint Popetz&lt;cpopetz(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: >> Hi, >> >> Should these methods: >> >> public Set<Annotation> getInterceptorBindingTypeDefinition(Class<? >> extends Annotation> bindingType); >> public Set<Annotation> getStereotypeDefinition(Class<? extends >> Annotation> stereotype); >> >> which are defined to "obtain the set of meta-annotations declared by a >> stereotype or interceptor binding type," return the complete set of >> meta-annotations, or only those that are relevant to JSR-299?  I ask >> because I don't think the spec prohibits you from annotating a >> sterotype or interceptor binding type annotation with other >> annotations, but as a client of the above method I wouldn't expect to >> get back extra non-related stuff, based on the method name. >> >> -Clint >> >> -- >> Clint Popetz >> http://42lines.net >> Scalable Web Application Development >> _______________________________________________ >> webbeans-dev mailing list >> webbeans-dev(a)lists.jboss.org >> https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/webbeans-dev >> > > > > -- > Gavin King > gavin.king(a)gmail.com > http://in.relation.to/Bloggers/Gavin > http://hibernate.org > http://seamframework.org > -- Clint Popetz http://42lines.net Scalable Web Application Development
