             Summary: Clarify: "archive which contains an extension"
                 Key: CDI-741
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-741
             Project: CDI Specification Issues
          Issue Type: Clarification
          Components: Portable Extensions
    Affects Versions: 2.0 .Final
            Reporter: Harald Wellmann


According to Section 12.1,

{quote}An archive which contains an extension and no beans.xml file is not a bean archive.
{quote} 

According to Section 11.5,

{quote} An extension is a service provider of the service javax.enterprise.inject.spi.Extension declared in META-INF/services 
{quote} 

Conclusion:

An archive containing a class implementing  {{javax.enterprise.inject.spi.Extension}} but not declaring this class in {{META-INF/services}} does not contain an extension. 

So if this archive contains a class with a bean-defining annotation and no {{beans.xml}}, then it is a bean archive.

The TCK is missing a test for this scenario (archive with extension class but no service registration), it only has a test for the more obvious case of an archive with extension class *and* service registration.

If my interpretation is correct, then WildFly 15  has a bug, since it disqualifies any archive containing an `Extension` class, regardless of the service registration.

Side note:

It would be helpful for readers looking for the exact definition of extensions to move the sentence quoted above from Section 11.5 to the introductory paragraph of Section 11.
