Hello DavidB,
I'm using the converter in the CDI work I'm doing and I'm noting a strange
behaviour in converting Annotations (qualifiers) to Maps. Basically it
looks like the converter is following all methods of the annotation type,
rather than only the declared method:
In other words, if I start with an Annotation like so:
public @interface ComplexEnoughKey {
String value();
}
used as:
@ComplexEnoughKey("fum")
Using the converter like so:
Map<String, String> map = _converter.convert(annotation).to(new
TypeReference<Map<String, String>>(){});
I'm getting a map like this:
{hashCode=1335732849, annotationType=interface
org.apache.aries.cdi.test.beans.BeanWithReference$ComplexEnoughKey,
[email protected]$ComplexEnoughKey(value=fum),
value=fum}
I was expecting:
{value=fum}
Shouldn't annotations only use the
annotation.annotationType().getDeclaredMethods()?
Also, I don't see any name mangling happening. I thought that was part of
the standard rules.
Do I chalk all this up to "work in progress"? If so I can send some PRs
with fixes for the above.
Sincerely,
- Ray
