Pete Muir commented on CDI-43:
------------------------------

Stuart proposes adding something http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/6/api/javax/servlet/annotation/HandlesTypes.html

{quote}
If an implementation of ServletContainerInitializer specifies this annotation, the Servlet container must pass the Set of application classes that extend, implement, or have been annotated with the class types listed by this annotation to the ServletContainerInitializer.onStartup(java.util.Set>, javax.servlet.ServletContext) method of the ServletContainerInitializer (if no matching classes are found, null must be passed instead)

> Currently portable extensions that wish to look for a specific annotation have to look through all availible classes in the ProcessAnnotatatedType event, which is quite inefficient. It would be good if extensions could do something like:
> public void processAnnotatedType(@Observes @RequireAnnotations({@Unwraps.class}) ProcessAnnotatedType pat) 
> This could allow the container to take advantage of annotation indexing to improve boot time performance, as well as reducing uneeded processing in the observer.
