[cdi-dev] Should javax.enterprise.inject.Produces be inherited?

[John Ament]

All,


I was just thinking about alternatives and producer methods.  Suppose I have the following bean:


@ApplicationScoped
public class Boop {

    @Produces
    @ApplicationScoped
    public Simpler makeSimpler() {
        return new Simpler("Boop");
    }
}


If I want to override the producer method, I need to declare fully:


@Alternative
@Priority(100)
@ApplicationScoped
public class BoopAlternative extends Boop{
    @Override
    @Produces
    public Simpler makeSimpler() {
        return new Simpler("Boop2");
    }
}

For some reason, scopes are inherited, but the produces annotation is not.  At least in the case of a producer method, it seems like it would be useful for @Produces to be inherited as well.

John
