How do I search the whole classpath for an annotated class?
I’m doing a library and I want to allow the users to annotate their classes, so when the Web application starts I need to scan the whole classpath for certain annotation.
I’m thinking about something like the new functionality for Java EE 5 Web Services or EJB’s. You annotate your class with @WebService or @EJB and the system finds these classes while loading so they are accessible remotely.
