Need common method of scanning for annotations (static or dynamic) ------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: WELDX-95 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/WELDX-95 Project: Weld Extensions Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Weld Extensions Reporter: Lincoln Baxter III There needs to be a common way of scanning classes and methods for annotation information: A Utility class for common @{@link Annotation} scanning operations. Enables scanning classes and methods for specific annotation types, and retrieving those annotation instances. Here is the solution currently being used in Faces Module -- it still needs a call to the BeanManager.getStereotypeDefinition(...) in order to be fully portable. ---------------------- package org.jboss.weld.extensions.util; import java.lang.annotation.Annotation; import java.lang.reflect.Method; import javax.enterprise.inject.Stereotype; /** * Utility class for common @{@link Annotation} scanning operations.
