[jira] Commented: (FELIX-1242) Annotation detection does not work when class contains only field-level annotations

["Carsten Ziegeler (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-1242?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12719936#action_12719936 ] 

Carsten Ziegeler commented on FELIX-1242:
-----------------------------------------

The solution for this use case is to use the @Component(componentAbstract=true) annotation on the base class. A special descriptor is then created which is picked up by the sub class.
The reason for this is that the base class might be contained in some other jar which is already compiled and the source and therefore the annotations are not available anymore.
I would like to keep it this way and use the same behaviour as with the javadoc tags.
WDYT?

> in certain situations java classes contain only field-level SCR annotations (i.e. abstract classes where the real @Component annotations is defined on subclasses).
> in this case, the existing of annotations is not detecting in this class, resulting in ignoring field-level annotations in this abstract class.
> the patch attached [^090616_detectannotationfix.patch] fixes this problem.
