[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-346) Unclear relation between bean discovery and @WithAnnotations

[Pete Muir (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-346?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12759447#comment-12759447 ] 

Pete Muir commented on CDI-346:
-------------------------------

I'll answer you quickly here, then we can sort out how to clarify in the spec.

This class does NOT result in a bean definition, unless AfterTypeDiscovery.addAnnotatedType() is called with the relevant type, therefore the type should not be automatically added to the bean archive.

> First the container must discover types. The container discovers:
> • each Java class, interface or enum deployed in an explicit bean archive, and
> • each Java class interface, or enum with a bean defining annotation in an implicit bean archive.
> • each session bean
> that is not excluded from discovery.
> Then, container must create an AnnotatedType representing the type and fire an event of type ProcessAnnotatedType,
> as defined in Section 11.5.6, for:
> • every type discovered
> • each Java class, interface or enum that must be delivered to a ProcessAnnotatedType observer, where the event parameter
> is annotated with @WithAnnotations.

> Having a class
> a) in an implicit bean archive
> b) outside of bean archive
> that does not define a bean defining annotation and the class must be delivered to a @WithAnnotation PAT observer method.
> Should this class result in a bean definition (assuming it fulfils bean requirements)?
> Would not it be easier to add the category of classes that must be delivered to @WithAnnotations PAT observer to the implicit bean archive definition?
