Hi,
According to the EJB3 (Core) spec p. 507:
<xsd:attribute name="metadata-complete" type="xsd:boolean">
<xsd:annotation>
<xsd:documentation>
The metadata-complete attribute defines whether this
deployment descriptor and other related deployment
descriptors for this module (e.g., web service
descriptors) are complete, or whether the class
files available to this module and packaged with
this application should be examined for annotations
that specify deployment information.
If metadata-complete is set to "true", the deployment
tool must ignore any annotations that specify deployment
information, which might be present in the class files
of the application.
If metadata-complete is not specified or is set to
"false", the deployment tool must examine the class
files of the application for annotations, as
specified by the specifications.
</xsd:documentation>
</xsd:annotation>
</xsd:attribute>
Does it mean that as resource-injection example uses it, no
annotations should be consulted and thus they have no effect on the
component deployment processing?
Right. If the descriptor says metadata-complete="true" then we
should yank that quick.
Do we support the feature?
Not yet.
