[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-697) Provide delegating/forwarding implementations of the annotated type model classes

[Laird Nelson (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-697?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13381132#comment-13381132 ] 

Laird Nelson commented on CDI-697:
----------------------------------

Oh!  It does indeed return {{private}} fields of the supertypes.

I'll close this issue.  Before I do, do consider spelling out the fact that methods like {{fields()}} return _all_ fields from the _entire type hierarchy_, which I don't think is clear (or at least was not clear to me, playing the role of guinea pig).

> A lot of duplicate efforts could be eliminated if the CDI SPI supplied delegating implementations of each of the {{Annotated*}} SPI interfaces.  These implementations would assist in creating objects suitable for passing to {{ProcessAnnotatedType#setAnnotatedType(AnnotatedType)}} (and the like) when the configurator APIs prove to be too simplistic.
