Interceptor and Features annotations require context classloader
----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CXF-4033
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-4033
Project: CXF
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Core
Reporter: Daniel Kulp
Assignee: Daniel Kulp
Fix For: 2.4.6, 2.5.2
The @InInterceptors and @Features annotations currently define their types via
a String[]. This causes a few issues:
1) Spelling of the classnames is not checkable until runtime.
2) No type checking until runtime.
3) The context classloader needs to be set correctly to load the classes which
is not always the case (think OSGI).
It would be good to add:
Class<? extends Interceptor>[] classes() default { };
to the annotations to allow the developer to use the actual class objects which
will provide type checking (class is the correct type) as well as allow the
regular class loading mechanisms to work properly.
