Martin Kouba commented on CDI-590:
----------------------------------
I'm not sure I understand the use case. Do you want to declare a producer method whose
set of bean types will not be derived from the return type? A more general description
would be great.
Provide a way to produce any type in a producer

Key: CDI-590
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-590
Project: CDI Specification Issues
Issue Type: Epic
Reporter: Romain Manni-Bucau
Note: this is a follow up "adding generic producers to CDI 2.0?" thread on the
list
It is common to rely on a subsystem (another IoC, a coercing system, ...) to produce
values. Today a producer can't say "I produce anything in a safe" manner.
Idea would be for injection point aware producers with a qualifier to producer Object and
match all types.
It needs another flag (can be in @Qualifier or another annotation it is not really
important) to say "I produce safely any type".
I did a PoC on github:
https://github.com/rmannibucau/generic-producer-cdi but think it
can be a nice feature of CDI 2.0 since it would avoid users to have to dig into extensions
for several simple cases (configuration, bridge to other IoC...)
