[weld-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (WELD-210) Support serialization of the metamodel

[Pete Muir (JIRA)]

     [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WELD-210?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Pete Muir updated WELD-210:
---------------------------

    Description: 
Combined with the refactor that is part of WELD-53, we should allow both the extended metadata and the slim AnnotatedTypes to be backed entirely with index based metadata. As there is no java standard for indexing, I believe the best approach is to make this pluggable, with the default being to use java reflection.

I will add another issue describing bootstrap refactors which should make it clear how both of these can be plugged in.

We could provide an impl based on jandex as well?

  was:This would allow us to do stuff like build the metamodel at compile time (time saver?) or work in environments like GWT where the reflection support is limited
