    Annotation hash check with security enabled

    alesj

      With my recent changes of INSTANCE scope inspection, I have the following code to check if there is some other non-annotation metadata present:

       Set<Object> checkSet = new HashSet<Object>();
       Object[] allMetaData = levelMetaData.getMetaData();
       Annotation[] annotations = levelMetaData.getAnnotations();
       // all meta data is not null, since instance metadata is not empty
       checkSet.addAll(Arrays.asList(allMetaData));
       checkSet.removeAll(Arrays.asList(annotations));
      
       // do we have something else than annotations
       if (checkSet.isEmpty() == false)
       return true;
      

      but I already stumbled upon this

      which I think is somehow too strict to require security check, since is a simple equals/hash call made by HashSet to remove annotation metadata.

          Doing direct '==' would probably do the trick, but that's too impl specific.
          Not to mention the horrible code that would come out of it. ;-)

            Like Adrian said yesterday on the jboss-dev list, think before you shoot. :-)
            This does the trick, and it doesn't require any hash/equals:
             Object[] allMetaData = levelMetaData.getMetaData();
             Annotation[] annotations = levelMetaData.getAnnotations();
             // all meta data is not null, since level metadata is not empty
             int allSize = allMetaData.length;
             int annotationsSize = annotations != null ? annotations.length : 0;
            
             // do we have something else than annotations
             if (allSize > annotationsSize)
             {
             return true;
             }
            

            ;-)

              This looks like a bug in the JDK.

              Looking at the open jdk source, the invocation of getDeclaredMembers()
              should be in a privileged block.

              
               /**
               * Returns the member methods for our annotation type. These are
               * obtained lazily and cached, as they're expensive to obtain
               * and we only need them if our equals method is invoked (which should
               * be rare).
               */
               private Method[] getMemberMethods() {
               if (memberMethods == null) {
               final Method[] mm = type.getDeclaredMethods(); // This fails if the calling context of the annotation.equals() doesn't have accessDelcaredMembers for the annotation class
               AccessController.doPrivileged(new PrivilegedAction() {
               public Object run() {
               AccessibleObject.setAccessible(mm, true);
               return null;
               }
               });
               memberMethods = mm;
               }
               return memberMethods;
               }
               private transient volatile Method[] memberMethods = null;
