fix Bean#getBeanClass() definition
----------------------------------
Key: CDI-456
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-456
Project: CDI Specification Issues
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Beans
Reporter: Mark Struberg
Fix For: 2.0 (discussion)
currently Bean#getBeanClass() is defined to return the class of the bean it produces but
has one important exception: in case of a producer method or field it must return the
class of the owner bean of this method or field.
Imo this only causes troubles and doesn't add any benefit.
* At the time when 'using' the Bean (create and destroy) we always ONLY need the
type which is to be created.
* At the time we create interceptors we ONLY need the type which is to be created;
* At the time we create the normalscoping proxies we ONLY need the type which is to be
created;
In fact the only time we need the ownerBean is when scanning the methods and fields in
it. And for creating we really need the owner-Bean and not it's bean-class!
In OWB we worked around this by having our own method getReturnType() which consistently
returns the type which gets created.
