[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of EJB 3.0] - Re: Deprecating Ejb3Deployment

[scott.stark@jboss.org]

The metadata project covers the standard metadata models we support in jbossas.

If new annotations affect the existing metadata, we need to add the dependency on the annotations and update the annotation creators to incorporate them.

If these are just pass through annotations on javaee component classes that should be available in a generic manner on the JBossEnterpriseBeanMetaData (which is the metadata input for the EjbContainer which is where getAnnotation(Class) exists). There is already a  JBossEnterpriseBeanMetaData.getAnnotations which returns a mapping of annotation class to AnnotationMetaData. This is not populated for unknown annotations though.

If we add pass through support for annotations to the component metadata for class, field and method annotations, is that going to be sufficient?
