[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-403?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.sy... ] Ondrej Mihályi commented on CDI-403: ------------------------------------ I think that it is worth to remove the requirement on interface in CDI2. It should be fairly easy to specify additional scenario, where the decorator can extend the decorated class => it would inherit all public methods as if all methods would be exposed by an interface, and would decorate all beans injected by their class instead of by interface. Currently, the way to work around this is to declare such decorator using {{@Specialized}} + {{@Alternative}} and delegating to methods in predecessor. This is confusing in the code, as the decorator pattern is implemented using to other patterns. And it is not the same as delegate to another injected delegate, as multiple decorators cannot be chained: {code:java} @Specialized @Alternative public class MyBeanDecorator extends MyBean { @Overrides public String hello() { return super.hello() + ", world!"; // decorates by adding ", world!" after result of hello() } } {code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.11#64026)
