Why? What are you talking about?
BeanInfo/Reflection is not based on the metadata repository. It is the other way around.

If you've done the field properties correctly, then this should just be
a case of using propertyInfo.get(Underlying)Annotations()
i.e. no getters/setters means use the field to get the annotations, but this
is all hidden from the caller - they are "property annotations"
