[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-58) Clarify that there can be multiple AnnotatedType instances per Java class

[Pete Muir (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-58?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12715449#comment-12715449 ] 

Pete Muir commented on CDI-58:
------------------------------

We discussed this in a special EG meeting last week. The conclusion was

* allow multiple annotated types per class instance
* introduce an

{code}
public interface IdentifiedAnnotatedType<X> extends AnnotatedType<X> {

    public String getId();

}
{code}

* if addAnnotatedType() is called, an existing AnnotatedType already exists in the bean archive (either due to scanning, or due to a previous addAnnotatedType() operation) then an instance of IdentifiedAnnotatedType must be passed, otherwise, a deployment exception will occur.
* we will recommend extensions always add IdentifiedAnnotatedTypes so that they cannot cause a deployment exception due to unexpected external circumstances.

> This decision is really important to make. Either we remove/redefine BeanManager#getAnnoatadType(Class) or we remove the 'artificial annotated types'.
