Mark Struberg commented on CDI-129:
-----------------------------------

You are right, if the EE container does not implement the suggestions of the first paragraph of JSR-316 EE.8.3.1 but decides to use reduced or no classloader isolation at all then 'non-portable behaviour occurs'.

I personally consider this an insane scenario, and the EE-7 spec should find very clear words that this is crap and should only be used in exceptional cases, e.g. for backward compatibility with old projects ;)

For the (web) @ApplicationScoped only applying to one webapp - this is also possible if there is no classloader isolation at all. For handlig this case in OpenWebBeans, we are just setting the 'one' @ApplicationScoped for a certain request to a ThreadLocal (See OWBs WebContextsService - we are doing this via a RequestListener subsequently via initRequestContext() ). Remember that we have plugable lifecycle handlers in OWB. This would not be necessary if there is a well defined ClassLoader isolation in place (as suggested - we could then just use the ContextClassLoader in this case) but this works really well with very old WebLogic servers in a big swiss bank already ;)

> Since @ApplicationScoped currently is defined in 6.5.2 as to be 'like in the Servlet specification' this means that you will get a new instance for every WebApplication (WAR file).
> There is currently no specified CDI scope for providing a single shared instance for a whole EAR.
> We could (ab-)use @Singleton for that, but this is currently not well defined at all.
> Alternatively we could introduce an own new annotation like @EnterpriseScoped or likes.
