[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-51?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.sys... ] Vsevolod Golovanov commented on CDI-51: --------------------------------------- The "Forum Reference" link is dead, quoting relevant part here. {quote} Injection for static members has a couple of problems: * A class can be shared between multiple applications, and the Java EE spec does not define rules for this. * Outside Java EE, it's difficult to define exactly when a static member is injected. Nevertheless, there are a couple of great usecases for this: * logger injection, * injection for entity classes, and * injection into objects with a passivating scope. So we do need to support something here. Perhaps it would be enough to say: * no static injection in shared libraries, and * static fields are injected before the very first instance of a bean is instantiated (but then static injection would not be supported for non-bean classes). {quote} https://web.archive.org/web/20130529234448/http://www.seamframework.org/W... -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.11#64026)
