I'm experimenting with a ServletContainerInitializer. I'd like to find
all annotation classes with are themselves annotated with a specific
annotation - for example @A.
So I have A.class in the @HandlesTypes annotaton of the
ServletContainerInitializer. But I am getting different results
depending on application server.
In WebLogic 12 onStartup /is/ passed annotation classes which are
annotated with @A. In Tomcat 8 I do not get these classes.
The servlet 3.1 spec says:
"The HandlesTypes annotation on the implementation of the
ServletContainerInitializer is used to express interest in classes that
may have annotations (type, method or field level annotations) specified
in the value of the HandlesTypes or if it extends/implements one those
classes anywhere in the class' super types."
Does class here imply a concrete class? Or can be be anything -
interface, annotation - which has a corresponding Java class?
Thanks
Richard
