[weld-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (WELDX-178) Add isMetadataChanged() accessor to AnnotatedTypeBuilder

Add isMetadataChanged() accessor to AnnotatedTypeBuilder -------------------------------------------------------- Key: WELDX-178 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/WELDX-178 Project: Weld Extensions Issue Type: Feature Request Affects Versions: 1.0.0.Beta1 Reporter: Dan Allen Priority: Minor Fix For: 1.0.0.Beta2 As an optimization, it makes sense to only create the AnnotatedType and assign it to ProcessAnnotatedType if the metadata has changed in anyway. Otherwise, you are wrapping the type just for the sake of wrapping it. Therefore, I propose that any change to the state of the annotated type be tracked by a changed flag that is accessible by calling the AnnotatedTypeBuilder#isMetadataChanged() (or similarly named) method. It would be used as follows: AnnotatedTypeBuilder b = AnnotatedTypeBuilder.readFromType(event.getAnnotatedType(), true); // do extension logic if (b.isMetadataChanged()) { event.setAnnotatedType(b.create()); }
