    • addQualifier

      void addQualifier(Class<? extends Annotation> qualifier)

      Declares an annotation type as a Qualifier qualifier type.

      This is only required if you wish to make an annotation a qualifier without adding Qualifier to it.

      Parameters:
      qualifier - The annotation to treat as a qualifier

    • addQualifier

      void addQualifier(AnnotatedType<? extends Annotation> qualifier)

      Declares an annotation type as a Qualifier qualifier type.

      This is only required if you wish to make an annotation a qualifier without adding Qualifier to it.

      Parameters:
      qualifier - The annotation to treat as a qualifier
      Since:
      1.1

    • addScope

      void addScope(Class<? extends Annotation> scopeType, boolean normal, boolean passivating)

      Declares an annotation type as a scope type.

      This is only required if you wish to make an annotation a scope type without adding the NormalScope or Scope annotations to it. You can also use this method to override an existing normal scope definition.

      Parameters:
      scopeType - The annotation type to treat as a scope type
      normal - Indicates if the scope is normal
      passivating - Indicates if the scope is passivation capable

    • addStereotype

      void addStereotype(Class<? extends Annotation> stereotype, Annotation... stereotypeDef)

      Declares an annotation type as a stereotype, and specifies its meta-annotations.

      This is only required if you wish to make an annotation a stereotype without adding Stereotype to it. You can also use this method to override an existing stereotype definition.

      Parameters:
      stereotype - The annotation type to treat as a stereotype
      stereotypeDef - An optional list of annotations defining the stereotype

    • addInterceptorBinding

      void addInterceptorBinding(AnnotatedType<? extends Annotation> bindingType)

      Declares an annotation type as an interceptor binding type.

      This is only required if you wish to make an annotation an interceptor binding type without adding InterceptorBinding to it.

      Parameters:
      bindingType - The annotation type to treat as an interceptor binding type

    • addInterceptorBinding

      void addInterceptorBinding(Class<? extends Annotation> bindingType, Annotation... bindingTypeDef)

      Declares an annotation type as an interceptor binding type, and specifies its meta-annotations.

      This is only required if you wish to make an annotation an interceptor binding type without adding InterceptorBinding to it.

      Parameters:
      bindingType - The annotation type to treat as an interceptor binding type
      bindingTypeDef - An optional list of annotations defining the interceptor
      Since:
      1.1

    • addAnnotatedType

      void addAnnotatedType(AnnotatedType<?> type)

      Adds a given AnnotatedType to the set of types which will be scanned during bean discovery.

      This method is deprecated from CDI 1.1 and addAnnotatedType(AnnotatedType, String) should be used instead.

      Parameters:
      type - The AnnotatedType to add for later scanning

    • addAnnotatedType

      void addAnnotatedType(AnnotatedType<?> type, String id)

      Adds a given AnnotatedType to the set of types which will be scanned during bean discovery.

      This method allows multiple annotated types, based on the same underlying type, to be defined. AnnotatedTypes discovered by the container use the fully qualified class name of AnnotatedType.getJavaClass() to identify the type.

      AfterBeanDiscovery.getAnnotatedType(Class, String) and AfterBeanDiscovery.getAnnotatedTypes(Class) allows annotated types to be obtained by identifier.

      Parameters:
      type - The AnnotatedType to add for later scanning
      id - The id of the annotated type
      Since:
      1.1
