--------------------------------

             Summary: Section 12.1 specifies that JVM classpath must be included in bean archive identification
                 Key: CDI-447
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-447
             Project: CDI Specification Issues
          Issue Type: Clarification
          Components: Packaging and Deployment
    Affects Versions: 1.2.Final
            Reporter: Phil Zampino


Section 12.1 of the spec states:

When determining which archives are bean archives, the container must consider:
• Library jars, EJB jars or application client jars
• The WEB-INF/classes directory of a war
• Directories in the JVM classpath

For CDI 1.0, I think the inclusion of "directories in the JVM classpath" would not be a big deal. However, since the introduction of implicit bean archives, I'm wondering if implementations are required to scan the JVM classpath for classes annotated with bean-defining annotations. This seems like it has the potential to be an expensive requirement, and it  should not be required.
