  |   | <bean name="MetaDataRepository" ...>
  |   |    <property name="joinpointInheritableAnnotations">
  |   |       <set class="java.lang.Class">
  |   |          <value>javax.ejb.PostConstruct</value>
  |   |       </set>
  |   |  ...
  |   | 
  | 
  | Then it would be configuratble which annotations you need to do
  | the wangy search (no suprises or extra work for other annotations)
  | and it would be transparent to the user of MetaData.
  | 
  | Incidently, I think this semantic is broken, since it means you cannot
  | override the annotations of the super class. Not very OOPS. :-)
  | 
  | 
  |   | public Sub extends Super
  |   | {
  |   |    @Override
  |   |    // No annotations here
  |   |    public void postConstruct() {}
  |   | 
  |   |    // This is my postConstruct method
  |   |    @PostConstruct
  |   |    public void myPostConstruct() {}
  |   | }
  |   |
