    EJB 3.1 and evil StaticMetamodel

    oranheim

      Hi all,

       

      Timely, Java 6 got rid of XML through Annotation and stuff. As a Weld / CDI user I love it. After searching Google I don't find many people complaining about @StaticMetamodel. The new way to describe your meta-model. This doesn't seem thought through from my perspective, since most meta data is already described. What's the point and why do I have to re-constitute my data model in order satisfy CriteraBuilder.

       

      Am I on the wrong track here?

       

      What's the point? This to me seems like a wrong path, as it's in the code, already!?

       

      How come I get have to move from bloated XML code to bloated Annotated code?

       

      Why?

       

      Cheers

       

      PS! Why not make a way to encompass anomalies of already existing code.
