[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-231) Clarify if Alternatives are filtered in BeanManager#getBeans() or #resolve()

Clarify if Alternatives are filtered in BeanManager#getBeans() or #resolve() ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: CDI-231 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-231 Project: CDI Specification Issues Issue Type: Clarification Components: Resolution Affects Versions: 1.0, 1.1.EDR1 Reporter: Mark Struberg Assignee: Mark Struberg Fix For: 1.1 (Proposed) The spec and javadoc are not really clear if the @Alternative filter defined in "5.2.1. Unsatisfied and ambiguous dependencies" is already performed in BeanManager#getBeans() or only later in BeanManager#resolve(). Back in 2009 I did a blind test with an old Weld version which only returned @Alternatives in getBeans() and all other beans got filtered out. This seems to have changed now (since quite some time). Can we make this more clear what should happen in getBeans() and what should happen in resolve()?
