Re: [jakartaee-tck-dev] [SERVLET] Annotation parsing when metadata-compl

[Bill Shannon <bill.shannon@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Any annotation that corresponds to a deployment descriptor entry should be ignored.  All the deployment information comes from the descriptor.  Obviously annotations are used for lots of other purposes by lots of other libraries, APIs, etc. and so metadatacomplete=true does not mean "ignore all annotations everywhere".

Hi,

I'm a bit confused with TCK test com/sun/ts/tests/servlet/spec/security/metadatacomplete/Client.java.test5

Reading the specs:

part of 15.5.1 says:

If metadatacomplete is set to "true", the deployment tool only examines the web.xml file and must ignore annotations such as @WebServlet, @WebFilter, and @WebListener present in the class files of the application, and must also ignore any webfragment.xml descriptor packaged in a jar file in WEB-INF/lib. 

But should other annotations be ignored as well such @ServletSecurity etc...? 

(reference is a jetty bug https://github.com/eclipse/jetty.project/issues/4234 )
