[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-508) Nested classes except for static nested classes should not be managed beans

[Martin Kouba (JIRA)]

     [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-508?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Martin Kouba updated CDI-508:
-----------------------------
    Description: 
The spec should explicitly state that all nested classes (inner, anonymous, local) except for static nested classes are not managed beans.

*3.1.1. Which Java classes are managed beans?* is confusing:
{quote}
A *top-level* Java class is a managed bean if it is defined to be a managed bean by any other Java EE specification, or if it meets all of the following conditions:
* It is not a *non-static inner class*.
* It is a concrete class, or is annotated @Decorator.
* ...
{quote} 

# A *top-level* Java class is never nested
# Term *non-static inner class* is inaccurate, static nested classes are not inner
# It seems that *concrete class* is not defined in JLS, it should be probably replaced with something like non-abstract...
