[cdi-dev] what Bean<T> implementations need to be PassivationCapable?

[Romain Manni-Bucau]

Hi

just to share my point of view on it (alread ydiscussed with Mark):

javadoc and spec both state this interface "Indicates that a custom
implementation of
Bean<http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/6/api/javax/enterprise/inject/spi/Bean.html>
 or Contextual<http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/6/api/javax/enterprise/context/spi/Contextual.html>
is
passivation capable."

so a bean which doesn't impl it will not be passivation capable. From my
understanding it means the proxy can't be serialized/unserialized without
side effects.

If it is not the case then this interface would be useless.
