[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-177) Clarify how default bean EL name and @Named qualifier with no value at injection point are related

[Martin Kouba (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-177?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12675207#comment-12675207 ] 

Martin Kouba commented on CDI-177:
----------------------------------

To sum it up:
# A bean may have an EL name (2.5. Bean EL names)
# EL name is declared with the @Named qualifier (2.5. Bean EL names)
# If the @Named annotation does not specify the value member, the EL name is defaulted (2.5. Bean EL names)
# The defaulted name is used in typesafe resolution: "If an injected field declares a @Named annotation that does not specify the value member, the name of the field is assumed." and the qualifier is changed to @Named(DEFAULT_NAME)(3.13. The qualifier @Named at injection points)
# However in case of @Named is used on stereotype only EL name is defaulted

So if I understand it correctly the only clarification required for "2.5. Bean EL names" is: "If a bean declares @Named qualifier  and no EL name is explicitly specified, the default EL name is assigned, and the qualifier is @Named(value=DEFAULT_NAME).". 

Otherwise a bean with the @Named annotation that does not specify the value member could not be resolved - see example below.

{code}
@Named
public class Ant {}

public class AntHill {
  @Inject
  @Named // -> @Named("ant") --> UnsatisfiedResolutionException
  private Ant ant;
}
{code}
