org.jboss.ejb3.metadata
Interface ComponentMetaDataLoaderFactory<M>

public interface ComponentMetaDataLoaderFactory<M>

The EJBMetaDataLoader visits all ComponentMetaDataLoaderFactories until it finds one that will create a MetaDataRetrieval for the given signature. For example it could ask for a retrieval given the signature of an interceptor class. In that case an interceptor meta data loader must be instantiated using the interceptor meta data from the bean meta data.
