<div id="style_15040794960000000794_BODY">1) If you inject Instance<T>, you still have the ambiguous dependency issue for any class which does have a subclass.<br>
E.g. from your sample:<br>
<br>
@Inject<br>
Instance<SimpleFoo> instance;<br>
<br>
//within some method<br>
instance.get(); -> this will blow up because you have two beans which have SimpleFoo type (SimpleFoo and AdvancedFoo)<br>
<br>
2) I don't understand what you mean by this. How does BM help here?<br>
<br>
<br>
Sidenote: <br>
You might want to try and use what Martin said - limiting the types of a bean with @Typed(MyClass.Foo).<br>
That way you have control over the bean types and can further manupulate the injection.<br>
Limit all your children to only the actual subclass type they have:<br>
<br>
@Dependent<br>
@Typed(AdvancedFoo.class)<br>
public class AdvancedFoo extends SimpleFoo {<br>
// this ben now only has a bean of AdvancedFoo, e.g. it does not fit into injection point for SimpleFoo<br>
} <br>
<br>
And then override the initializer methods like this:<br>
<br>
@Dependent<br>
public class Parent extends Child {<br>
<br>
@Inject<br>
@Override<br>
protected void setFoo(AdvancedFoo foo) {<br>
this.foo = foo; // assuming foo is a protected field<br>
}<br>
}<br>
