Also, is there any documentation (or anyone who can explain)
DefaultInstanceManager.processAnnotations() ?

Sorry, I'm a bit confused, lots of calls and structures.

I'm interested in particular in the 'injectionMap' - from what I read, the
method takes the name of the
field ( say 'foo' ), and even if it has no annotations it'll still inject it
if something named 'foo' is found.
The injectionMap would have something like "foo"->"jndiNameForFoo".

This seems pretty dangerous - my understanding was that you need to have an
annotation in order to
have the Resource injected.

you can also set up injections via web.xml. Even without this how is this dangerous? The injection map isn't supplied by user code but by server code.

I'm not sure if the standalone tomcat annotation support actually does anything. I wrote it to mimic the functionality of the original standalone support (which again IIRC didn't appear to connect to anything useful) when getting annotation/injection support to work in a way useful to geronimo. Geronimo uses xbean-reflect to handle object creation and configuration which is a very elegant solution IMO.

I'll try to find some time to remind myself of how this works and comment on it.... but it may be a while.

thanks

I'll try searching the mail archives - the comments in the submits don't
seem to have more info than the javadocs or
comments... Again, sorry if it's something obvious.

Hi,

Just one small 'feature' request:

Since InstanceManager in tomcat6 is in such a package ( org.apache - do we
even have permission to use this ??),
could we have some javadocs ?

What are the current plans for the annotation processing / dep injection ?
Is this class the 'root' of all future
annotation processing ?
