[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-129) Clarify behaviour of @ApplicationScoped in EARs

Thu Oct 18 16:51:01 EDT 2012

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-129?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12727845#comment-12727845 ] 

Stuart Douglas commented on CDI-129:
------------------------------------

A few other lines from the spec that are relevant:

11.5 - "For each service provider, the container must provide a bean of scope @ApplicationScoped and qualifier @Default, sup- porting injection of a reference to the service provider instance. The bean types of this bean include the class of the service provider and all superclasses and interfaces."

If the application scope is scoped to the WAR then this means you need to create an instance of the PE per war.

3.2 - "A singleton bean must belong to either the @ApplicationScoped scope or to the @Dependent pseudo-scope" 

Singleton beans are definitely one per EAR, so if application scope is per war then they should not be allowed to be application scoped.

> 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.
