[seam-dev] Next steps

[Stuart Douglas]

The original spec called for the ability to set default field values, however the AnnotatedType interface does not support this directly. Does anyone have any idea's about how to implement this without having to subclass Bean?

Great, this is very useful.

At one stage, Pete and I talked about implementing the whole XML
facility this way: it would just generate subclasses of the bean
classes, with the annotations added in. But I don't think this
approach works for:

* final classes and methods
* fields

So I think we're going to need my AnnotationTypeWrapper classes. I'll
try to find time to work on them tomorrow, but I might have to wait
til Monday.
