As Java 8 provides improved support for repeating annotations, it would be valuable to percolate that support into the CDI typesafe resolution mechanism.
For example, one could write:
@Qualifier @Repeatable(ContextNames.class) public interface @ContextName { String value; } public @interface ContextNames { ContextName[] value(); }
And then:
@ContextName("ctx1") class CamelContext1 { } @ContextName("ctx2") class CamelContext2 { } @Uri("") @Produces @ContextName("ctx1") @ContextName("ctx2") static ProducerTemplate producerTemplate(InjectionPoint ip, @Any Instance<CamelContext> instance) { }
That enables to use annotations both as a CDI qualifiers and a metadata providers while still be relying on standard typesafe resolution mechanism during the deployment phase to detect unsatisfied or ambiguous dependencies.
Support of the annotation container / list for backward compatibility could be provided as well.
