Getting all components implementing a given interface

[wark2007]

Hi all! I am currently implementing a very simple plugin architecture for one of our projects and looking for a possibility getting all seam components in classpath which implements a certain interface (i.e. the plugin interface). Is there an elegant way doing it with seam? I found the method
Component.getBusinessInterfaces(arg) but it seems not solving my problem and I can't find any further documentation about that method.

Thanks in advance!

This is how I do it (I really look for annotations but the principle is the same):

@Name("customSetupInstaller")
@Scope(ScopeType.APPLICATION)
@Startup
public class CustomSetupInstaller
{
    
    @Create
    public void handleItems()
    {
     String[] names = Contexts.getApplicationContext().getNames();
     for (String i : names)
     {
         if (i.endsWith(".component"))
         {
          Component c = (Component) Contexts.getApplicationContext().get(
               i);
          Class e = c.getBeanClass();
          if(MyInterface.class.isAssignableFrom(e))
                {
                    //do stuff 
                 }

         }

     }
    }
}
