Description

Currently, orchestra does not allow annotations like @ConversationName or @ConversationRequire to be used on Spring meta annotations (http://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/4.0.x/spring-framework-reference/htmlsingle/#beans-meta-annotations). It would be very comfortable if one could create a meta annotation for a group of classes and having to define the conversation name only once.

To implement this, Orchestra simply has to call AnnotationUtils.findAnnotation() instead of clazz.getAnnotation() in AnnotationInfoManager.
