[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-70) Clarify that if an extension provides an Annotated* then it is considered "metadata complete"

[Arne Limburg (Commented) (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-70?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12650471#comment-12650471 ] 

Arne Limburg commented on CDI-70:
---------------------------------

OK, but then the complete section should be more concrete. What about fields from superclasses, especially when a field of the same name exists in the subclass. I would expect that AnnotatedType.getFields() returns both, whereas I would expect that overridden methods from a superclass are not contained in AnnotatedType.getMethods(). But none of these things is currently specified.

> I think the correct behavior is to ignore any members that are missing from the AnnotatedType. You should not be directly accessing the reflection API at all. If the parameters for a method or a constructor don't match the underlying class, it should be considered a definition error.
