[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-243) Consider built-in InjectionPoint not available for stateless session beans

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-243?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12708905#comment-12708905 ] 

Mark Struberg commented on CDI-243:
-----------------------------------

Agree that there is a problem, but I do not agree with the solution. 

The underlying problem is that @Stateless beans are defined as @Dependent:

See 3.2 "A stateless session bean must belong to the @Dependent pseudo-scope."

My first feeling is that this is just plain wrong. Actually a @Stateless bean is the complete opposite to @Dependent as it does _not_ share the lifecycle, but has no lifecycle at all! EJBs imo do not have any CDI standard scope at all.

A @Stateless bean could rather have a @PooledScoped or similar...

By removing the @Dependent rule from @Stateless we would automatically have the rules of 5.5.7. "Injection point metadata" applied: "If a bean that declares any scope other than @Dependent has an injection point of type InjectionPoint and qualifier @Default, the container automatically detects the problem and treats it as a definition error."

> Right now it should be possible to inject InjectionPoint metadata to dependent SLSB (see 5.5.7. Injection point metadata). I think it may lead to inconsistencies - SLSB should not have any state as it is usually pooled and reused for every invocation.
