There's been sporadic talk on this newsgroup since September 2010 about providing a commons component which can scan a classpath and provide metadata about the classes. I have a clean (license-wsie) concrete interface and implementation to share. This code will support the following use cases:
1. An ioc container used during unit testing that replaces the full-blown EJB container. The ioc container will auto-stitch the @Stateless unit under test with default @EJB implementations available from the classpath. The container allows replacement of default implementations with specific mocks. Framework needs to find @EJB interfaces and implementations available from jars in classpath. 2. Augment a code container to implement a domain event pub/sub framework. Auto-stitch the subscribers that want specific events to the publication of events. Framework needs to find implementations available to ear. 3. A JPA implementation must find all classes marked with @Entity within the same jar that contains a META-INF/persistence.xml file. Anyone still interested in supporting classpath / introspection features?
