Weld Proxies (for instance created by Producer-Method) loose Annotations put ontop of Methods of source class ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: WELD-1131 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WELD-1131 Project: Weld Issue Type: Bug Components: Reflection layer Affects Versions: 1.1.8.Final Environment: glassfish 3.1.2 Reporter: P Huber Assignee: Marko Lukša Fix For: 2.0.0.Alpha2 Attachments: weld-forgets-annotation_WELD-1131.7z I have project specific Annotations ontop of public Methods of a class. class Customer { @MyProjectSpecificAnnotation public String getFirstName() { return firstName; } } When producing Objects of such an annotated class, like with class Example { @Produce Customer producerField; } Then at the Injection Side the Annotations "MyProjectSpecificAnnotation" is no longer available, because WELD injects a byte-code created proxy. class InjectionSide { @Inject Customer injectField; // here we get the WELD-Proxy of unpronouncable name...and no Annotations } I've used BeanIntrospector to reflect the injected Instance of class Customer. I get a set of PropertyDescriptors with a write/read Method each. But as allready said, none of them has the "MyProjectSpecificAnnotation". Could be due to the fact, that when subclassing a class, the Annotations of the super class are not available at sub class directly - But in Case of a "transparent" WELD proxy I'd expect they should be there. Probably you have to simply copy annotations during on-the-fly byte-code creation of the Proxy. The Problem is btw also true for javas built in Dynamic Proxy: using it you also loose Annotations. Hope you can fix that
