[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-132) Clarify which initial info AnnotatedType should contain

[Martin Kouba (Commented) (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-132?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12649149#comment-12649149 ] 

Martin Kouba commented on CDI-132:
----------------------------------

I realized that the text is also related to "11.3.18. Obtaining an AnnotatedType for a class". Therefore it's quite logical to place it in "11.4. Alternative metadata sources". However I believe it needs rewording. Maybe something like "If the Annotated constructed by container as defined in Chapters 11.3.18. Obtaining an AnnotatedType for a class and 11.5.6. ProcessAnnotatedType event ...".

> The spec is not exactly clear about the initial content of AnnotatedType.
> When initially building the AnnotatedType (e.g. before handing it over to the Extensions) we need to pre-fill them with the info from the annotations from the classes.
> Should this AnnotatedType:
> 1.) contain no annotations from superclasses?
> 2.) contain all annotations from superclasses?
> 3.) contain @Inherited annotations from superclasses?
> I think the other questions already got cleared up in CDI-70:
> Should AnnotatedType contain derived public? protected? private? methods/fields from a superclass?
> Imo it should contain all information which would be available by manually parsing any annotations. In other words: it should be possible to completely modify or emulate annotations of a parsed type.
