             Summary: Weld Proxies (for instance created by Producer-Method) loose Annotations put ontop of Methods of source class
                 Key: WELD-1131
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WELD-1131
             Project: Weld
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Reflection layer
         Environment: glassfish 3.1.2
            Reporter: P Huber


I have project specific Annotations ontop of public Methods of a class.

class Customer {
        @MyProjectSpecificAnnotation
	public String getFirstName() {
		return firstName;
	}
}

When producing Objects of such an annotated class, like with
class Example {
     @Produce
     Customer producerField;
}

Then at the Injection Side the Annotations "MyProjectSpecificAnnotation" is no longer available, because WELD injects a byte-code created proxy.

class InjectionSide {
     @Inject
     Customer injectField; // here we get the WELD-Proxy of unpronouncable name...and no Annotations
}


I've used BeanIntrospector to reflect the injected Instance of class Customer. I get a set of PropertyDescriptors with a write/read Method each.
But as allready said, none of them has the "MyProjectSpecificAnnotation".

Could be due to the fact, that when subclassing a class, the Annotations of the super class are not available at sub class directly - But in Case of a "transparent" WELD proxy I'd expect they should be there. Probably you have to simply copy annotations during on-the-fly byte-code creation of the Proxy. The Problem is btw also true for javas built in Dynamic Proxy: using it you also loose Annotations.

Hope you can fix that
