--- Comment #21 from Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> --- The proposed patch treats the annotation scan and the fragment scan as independent scans. Unfortunately this is not the case. The patch also ignores the scanning for @HandlesType matches. Take a look at the comment at the start of ContextConfig.webConfig(). Some things to keep in mind: - The annotation scan and the @HandleTypes scan are done at the same time. - The annotation scan can be disabled via metadata-complete - metadata-complete has no impact on @HandleTypes scan - exclusion via absolute ordering excludes a JAR from all three scans I think there are two options. 1. Log a message suggesting the JAR is skipped if it has no hits for all three scans. 2. As 1 but also log a message for JARs that have unnecessary annotation scans that they could use metadata-complete. (Your current patch pretty much does this already.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
