That's not what I meant. If the method is enhanced using an AOP aspect,
it may want access to the annotations, e.g.


  | @PostConstruct
  | @LogCalls(level=Leves.TRACE)
  | private void postConstruct() {}
  | 
  | @Aspect
  | public CallLogging
  | {
  |    public Object invoke(MethodInvocation invocation) throws Throwable
  |     {
  |         // This effectively does 
  |         // advisor.getMetaData().getComponentMetaData(new MethodSignature(invocation.getMethod())).getAnnotation(LogCalls.class)
  |         LogCalls logCalls = invocation.getAnnotation(LogCalls.class);
  | 
  |         // Impl
  |         doLog(logCalls, invocation);
  |     }
  | }
  | 

Which would kind of work as it currently stands (since it doesn't validate the method).

The "kind of" is because it is not intended to work, and wouldn't work
if you don't use the constructor with the Method in it.

If you don't pass the Method object, it has to search for the Method
and will instead find the one in Sub.class.

Is there a Jira for the new method signature?
