Before making any changes (WINK-10), I want to make sure I understand some of the semantics of the code correctly.
org.apache.wink.common.internal.registry.metadata.ClassMetadata -- This is meant to model ANY class that would be used in a JAX-RS application (root resource, sub resource, provider, etc.). It is THE ultimate holder of generic information on what needs to be injected and how to create instances of the class. Is that correct? org.apache.wink.common.internal.registry.metadta.*Collector -- These classes are responsible for building the metadata instances. org.apache.wink.server.internal.registry.*Record -- These objects are created as root resource and provider instances are added to the config. They are added to the registry which represents the config for the entire set of resources available in the application. I like the breakdown/organization of those parts. Just trying to make sure the semantics are clear. So, as a general prinicple, if we're going to affect how things are represented to the runtime, getting the information we need in one of the Collectors should be the first choice. The ClassMetadata instances are immutable once they've been added to the config, correct? -Nick Nicholas Gallardo WebSphere - REST & WebServices Development [email protected] Phone: 512-286-6258 Building: 903 / 5G-016
