Don't break deployment if java can't read all the annotations
-------------------------------------------------------------
Key: OWB-497
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OWB-497
Project: OpenWebBeans
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Core
Affects Versions: 1.1.0
Reporter: David Jencks
Assignee: Gurkan Erdogdu
Fix For: 1.1.0
Running the jsr303 tck with OWB installed in geronimo we run into a bunch of
exceptions that I think must be a jdk bug: calling a method that causes the
annotations on a class to be initialized (clazz.getAnnotations() for instance)
throws and exception
Caused by: java.lang.ArrayStoreException:
sun.reflect.annotation.TypeNotPresentExceptionProxy

Googling this is supposedly caused by an annotation (whose class is loadable)
having a value whose class is missing. In my particular case I can't verify
this as the cause.
In any case, OWB seems to have a policy that if a class can't have its
annotations read (e.g. ClassNotFoundException or NoClassDefFoundError) we
ignore it. I think this policy should be extended to when this exception
occurs.
