[weld-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (WELDX-95) Need common method of scanning for annotations (static or dynamic)

[Pete Muir (JIRA)]

     [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/WELDX-95?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Pete Muir closed WELDX-95.
--------------------------

    Resolution: Done
      Assignee: Pete Muir


Initial support added. We can't really take this much further without extending further the ability to identify the annotatedType from which an instance comes (WELDX-96)

> There needs to be a common way of scanning classes and methods for annotation information: A Utility class for common @{@link Annotation} scanning operations. Enables scanning classes and methods for specific annotation types, and retrieving those annotation instances.
> Here is the solution currently being used in Faces Module -- it still needs a call to the BeanManager.getStereotypeDefinition(...) in order to be fully portable.
