On reflection, as it were

[Benson Margulies <bi...@gmail.com>]

java.lang.reflect.getAnnotation is popular enough to warrant some sort of
attention. We make over one hundred calls to it for a simple client
endpoint. I've started to make some miscellaneous caches in JAX-WS, but
perhaps I should be looking more at why we feel the need to ask the same
question over and over? Or perhaps really a hash map is as good a way to
obtain these facts once-per-service as any?
