If we define an error, we will introduce a backward compatibility issue. Some app will stop starting. Will this cause a big problem? If this is not a concern, +1 on defining a DefinitionError on this case: ERROR - when normal scoped injects are marked transient. and a warning on WARNING - when non-normal scoped injects are marked transient.

Many thanks,

Hi,

I frequently encounter injections marked transient in client projects. I really think it would be of great help if we where to define Error/Warning when injection fields are marked transient. 

As Mark pointed out there may be a valid use cases for non normal-scoped bean injections to be made transient. 

My suggestion is:
