Bauke Scholtz commented on CDI-10:
----------------------------------
Another use case I discovered during developing JSF <f:websocket>: being able to use
package private methods (or fields) among CDI beans.
Imagine a session scoped CDI bean and a dependent CDI producer in same package which needs
to reference a mutable field of the session scoped CDI bean during inject time (which is
necessary as the CDI session scope is not necessarily active during actual usage of the
mutable field). As this object is mutable, I'd rather keep it package private.
Based on among others
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OWB-931 I understand that
package private instance methods in CDI beans are subject to serious memory leaks, so
I'd rather not have them. The only possibility is having a package private static
method which takes the instance and then returns the private field.
{code:java}
@SessionScoped
public class SomeSessionScopedBean {
private Map<String, Object> map;
static Map<String, Object> getMap(SomeSessionScopedBean instance) {
return instance.map;
}
}
{code}
This only doesn't work if the passed-in argument is actually a proxy instance obtained
via `@Inject`. I had to work around it with `context.get(bean)`, but this theoretically
less efficient than just unwrapping the proxy instance.
Add ability to access a bean instance from a proxy

Key: CDI-10
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-10
Project: CDI Specification Issues
Issue Type: Feature Request
Components: Beans
Affects Versions: 1.0
Reporter: Stuart Douglas
Fix For: 2.0 (discussion)
There are occasions when it would be useful to access a bean instance directly from a
proxy. This could be achieved by making all proxies assignable to an interface (say
BeanProxy) that provides a getBeanInstance() method.
Client code that needs access to the actual instance can check if the object is
assignable to the BeanProxy interface and then call getBeanInstance() to get the actual
instance if required.
This is something that is probably more useful to extension writers than the end user,
but there have already been a few requests on the weld forum about this so it is probably
worth considering.
