[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-224) Support Decoration of no interface beans

[Thomas Andraschko (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-224?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13001842#comment-13001842 ] 

Thomas Andraschko commented on CDI-224:
---------------------------------------

"outcry" :D
We have a big product with many subproducts and customizations for customers.
In our core libs, we have many default view controllers beans and JSF cc's/includes..
For some subproducts, we @Specialize the view controllers or even create seperate includes.

e.g.

core -> ViewAController
subprojectA -> SpecializedViewAController

Thats work fine with @Specialized/@Alternative.

We also have shared libs for each customer.
There we would like to decorate e.g. ViewAController.
As our controller are currently classes, it would be perfect if it would be possible to apply decorators also on classes.
Currently we have to introduce interfaces for our view controllers, which is actually only a workaround for this feature request because we don't gain any other benefit from it.

> According to CDI 1.0 Spec:
> "Decorators may be associated with any managed bean that is not itself an interceptor or decorator or with any EJB session bean."
> "The set of decorated types of a decorator includes all bean types of the managed bean which are Java interfaces, except for java.io.Serializable. The decorator bean class and its superclasses are not decorated types of the decorator."
> Both CDI and EJB support No interface beans, but for some reason Decorators only work on methods from a Interface. While Interceptors on the other hand work fine with Classes. 
> I can see no technical reason to why Decorators should only work on Interfaces since all Proxies etc should already be in place.
