Description
We recently had a thread on the DeltaSpike list about using StereoTypes in real world applications: http://markmail.org/thread/ntqwnsyukjvdwspm
------
Imagine the following Stereotype for my Services (I spare out the standard
stuff)
@StereoType @Secured @Transactional @ApplicationScoped
public @interface @Service {}
The problem here is that there is no way to 'propagate' any rolesAllowed from
@Service to @Secured, etc.
What I'd like to have is something like ...
public @interface @Service {
String[] rolesAllowed();
TransactionAttributeType transactionType();
}
where the rolesAllowed() would get propagated to the @Secured meta-annotation
and transactionType() to the @Transactional
-----------
Gerhard Petracek now pointed me to a cool feature which is used in JSR-303 BVAL: @OverridesAttribute
http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/6/api/javax/validation/OverridesAttribute.html
We should ping the BVAL EG for the details. There are quite a few little tricks and side effects to consider.
On the implementation side, we could e.g. pick the @StereoType annotation and automatically propagate those values to the AnnotatedType which get's passed to the Extensions
