You mean @java.beans.ConstructorProperties?
That's the one. (memory was a bit stale)
Also, why not create
@org.apache.geronimo.xbean.ConstructorProperties or something like
that and use that for constructor injection instead of relying on the
debug info. It would also make the transition to
@java.beans.ConstructorProperties easier in the future.
We could probably do something like that. XBean does have the ability
for the parameter names to be feed to it, rather than getting them
magically. So we could support something like this if we make a quick
check for the annotation ourselves. We could probably make our own
copy of @java.beans.ConstructorProperties and put it in a new spec jar
for java 5 usage.

I added constructor injection for EJBs and Interceptors into

could probably do the same for servlets, filters and listeners if
we use
xbean-reflect to create all of those.
The trick would be that the functionality wouldn't work unless they
compiled
the code with debug. XBean uses the debug table to scrape out the
constructor param names. We could potentially add support of the
@java.beans.ParameterNames annotation, but that's only available in
Java 6.
Add it? Don't add it? Add it but put a big disclaimer on the doc
for it?
Thoughts?
