Hi, I'm not understanding how to add @Traced annotations and get them to work in Wildfly 17. If there's another, more appropriate, forum to post this please let me know!

 

I added this to my `pom.xml`

```

        <dependency>

            <groupId>org.eclipse.microprofile.opentracing</groupId>

            <artifactId>microprofile-opentracing-api</artifactId>

            <version>1.2.1</version>

            <scope>provided</scope>

        </dependency>

```

Then in code that gets called during my tests I added

```

import org.eclipse.microprofile.opentracing.Traced;

...

    @Traced

    public void someMethod() {...}

```

When I run my load tests against my app, I get traces of the http api methods that are called, but nothing for when those api methods call my `@Traced` methods,except in one class that has these annotations:

```

@RequestScoped

@Transactional

@Traced

```

I'm guessing that somehow the @RequestScoped annotation triggers the tracing? But it seems to be more than that, if I just add @RequestScoped to someMethod() above, it doesn't seem to get picked up in the trace. There must be something I'm missing.

What is the right way to add an `@Traced` annotation and be sure that it gets picked up during a request?

My next question is going to be how to add such an annotation to my hibernate classes that I don't have direct access to.

Thanks!

Monty
