Inconsistent behavior of annotations on Glassfish and Wildfly

[gtudan]

Wildfly seems to behave different than Glassfish when inheriting annotations.

The "Annotations"-Example-App contains a test case for that:

ozark/examples/annotations/src/test/java/org/mvcspec/ozark/test/annotations/AnnotationsIT.java

Line 75 in b94d83f

public void testNoOverrideMvc() throws Exception {

Glassfish will return an Error (HTTP 500) for this test, while wildfly renders the view with a HTTP 200. I guess WF inherits the annotation from the BaseController. This violates the annotation inheritance rules defined in part 6.4 of the MVC-Spec.

Just a quick note: My current guess is that this issue is related to the typical problems we get with CDI proxies. Especially the inheritance rules get very tricky if additional CDI proxy subclasses are involved.
