[seam-dev] Overriding annotated types and the SPI

[Pete Muir]

I'm still ploughing through email backlog, exhaustion, housework, paperwork, and other tasks ;-) but I am hopeful that Thanksgiving will give me time to catch up and I can start fixing bugs in Weld this week.

I could work around it properly by generating a new class using javassist for every bean I add with the SPI, however I would rather not go down that route.

>>> I guess what you are seeing is bug in Weld, whereby we need to adjust quite what makes two annotated types equal so that you see both the one you added, and the new one, rather than only getting one or the other. Even with this fix, you would have an error, as you now have two identical classes which Weld will discover beans for. You need to veto the built in annotated type (otherwise you end up *adding* an existing annotated type, not replacing it).

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? It looks like the bean deployment process is overriding my user supplied type level metadata.
