isIntrospectable

public boolean isIntrospectable(Object o,
 Object metaInfo)

Test if an object should be introspected for some specific types of annotations like PostConstruct/PreDestroy/MultiPart etc etc. According to servlet 4.0, these types of annotations should only be evaluated iff any of the following are true:

1. the object was created by the javax.servlet.ServletContext.createServlet/Filter/Listener method
2. the object comes either from a discovered annotation (WebServlet/Filter/Listener) or a declaration in a descriptor AND web.xml is NOT metadata-complete AND any web-fragment.xml associated with the location of the class is NOT metadata-complete

We also support evaluations of these types of annotations for objects that were created directly by the jetty api.

Parameters:

o - the object to check for its ability to be introspected for annotations

metaInfo - meta information about the object to be introspected

Returns:

true if it can be introspected according to servlet 4.0 rules
