Emily Jiang created CDI-533: ------------------------------- Summary: Bean Deployment archive conflicts between section 5 and section 12 Key: CDI-533 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-533 Project: CDI Specification Issues Issue Type: Clarification Components: Packaging and Deployment Affects Versions: 1.2.Final Environment: n/a Reporter: Emily Jiang In CDI1.2 spec, the definition for bean archive are conflicting between section 5 and section 12; In section 5, Beans and their clients may be deployed in modules in a module architecture such as the Java EE environment. In a module architecture, certain modules are considered bean archives. In the Java EE module architecture, any Java EE module or library is a module. The Java EE module or library is a bean archive if it contains a beans.xml file. This section talks about the bean deployment on the module or library level. It indicates one web module (may contain web-inf\lib etc) is a single bean archive. The smallest unit is a module or a lib. While in section 12: When determining which archives are bean archives, the container must consider: • Library jars, EJB jars or application client jars • The WEB-INF/classes directory of a war • Directories in the JVM classpath It indicates each jar should be a bean archive. The smallest unit is a jar. I started this conversation with Mark, Jozef, Antoine, Romain. The correct implementation is section 12. So section 5 needs to be reworked. All conversation is on the cdi-dev mailing list. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
