[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-718) Bean creation and dependency injection should not be performed before AfterDeploymentValidation

Martin Kouba created CDI-718: -------------------------------- Summary: Bean creation and dependency injection should not be performed before AfterDeploymentValidation Key: CDI-718 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-718 Project: CDI Specification Issues Issue Type: Clarification Reporter: Martin Kouba Fix For: 2.1 (Discussion) The spec is clear that it is not allowed to invoke {{BeanManager.getReference()}}, {{BeanManager.getInjectableReference()}} and {{BeanManager.createInstance()}} before {{AfterDeploymentValidation}}. I.e. it could be safely used during {{AfterDeploymentValidation}} and after the application initialization finished. The reason is that before ADV the set of beans/interceptors/decorators may not be complete and extensions can still affect the resolution. However, using {{InjectionTarget}}, {{UnmanagedInstance}} and {{Contextual.create()}} has the same risks. I think we should clarify the usage so that the spec is consistent. WRT backward compatibility - note that the container is permitted to define a non-portable mode to overcome problems with legacy applications not using CDI SPI properly. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.2.3#72005)
