Yes the idea is that a descriptor can override any information specified in the annotation (look at the rules for merging in the spec.) So to answer your question as long as metadata-complete is not set - the annotation and descriptor combine to give the effective declaration.

Also in the javadocs for Registration.java it clearly says - "A Registration object whose

{@link #getClassName}

method returns null is considered preliminary". If a servlet is annotated, the getClassName will not return null and hence will not be considered preliminary.
