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

[Jozef Hartinger (Commented) (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-132?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12654889#comment-12654889 ] 

Jozef Hartinger commented on CDI-132:
-------------------------------------

The spec says:
{quote}If the Annotated represents a type, then the annotations returned should include all annotations on the type and it's super types regardless of whether the annotation is marked @Inherited{quote}

However, it is unclear what's returned by getAnnotation() if a given annotated type has more than one instance of a given annotation type (this happens if a non-inherited annotation is declared on two or more classes in the class hierarchy).

> 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.
