review PassivationCapable interface ----------------------------------- Key: CDI-317 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-317 Project: CDI Specification Issues Issue Type: Bug Components: Beans Reporter: Mark Struberg Fix For: 1.1 (Proposed) Currently the spec says that only _passivation capable Beans_ must implement the PassivationCapable interface. But a Bean class could result in both passivation-capable and not-passivation-capable beans. For e.g. a ProducerMethodBean it depends on the scope of the produced instance. For implementing this properly you would need to always need 2 classes for each bean-type. And even worse - often you know only after the all the Bean-building that this very bean is passivation-capable or not. Thus I suggest to extend the meaning of PassivationCapable#getId() to allow returning *null* if the very bean doesn't support passivation.
