[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-601?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.sy... ] Chris Rankin commented on CDI-601: ---------------------------------- For reference, I think {{BeforeApplicationShutdown}} or {{BeforeApplicationUndeploy}} would be semantically better event names than {{BeforeContainerShutdown}}. Also, the _particular_ bean which I was struggling to shut down was actually {{@Dependent}} scoped with {{@ApplicationScoped}} dependencies, so I don't think that I could have replaced its {{@PreDestroy}} method with an event observer method in this case. What I actually did was locate the {{@ApplicationScoped}} bean that owned the target bean, and then direct the shutdown from a {{(a)Destroyed(ApplicationScoped.class)}} observer method there instead. My original notion was for {{@ApplicationScoped}} beans not to be destroyed while other beans still hold contextual references to them, although I have no idea how feasible that would be to implement. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.11#64026)
