Decorating built in beans
-------------------------

                 Key: CDI-164
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-164
             Project: CDI Specification Issues
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: Decorators
    Affects Versions: 1.0
            Reporter: Jozef Hartinger
             Fix For: 1.1 (Proposed)


In CDI 1.0, decorators may only be applied to managed and session beans. Decorating built-in beans would make CDI extensions more powerful. 

One of the possible usecases is represented by decorating the Event bean https://gist.github.com/1223042

This would allow extensions to implement for example:
* event queuing (Forge)
* bidirectional mapping to another event technology without introducing infinite loops (Seam JMS)
