Re: [cdi-dev] Java EE compatibility guidelines

There are two fixes in CDI 1.1 EDR1 of which I am not sure if they comply with the document. * CDI-36 * CDI-115 In both cases it's a non-compatible change in the SPI. The compatibility document does not make a distinction between an API (consumed by applications) and SPI (consumed by extensions). As a result, it is difficult to put portable extensions that use the SPI into one of categories defined by the document. The "wrapper implementations" category seems to fit a description of a typical portable extension the most (which would justify the changes) although CDI extensions do not necessarily just "wrap a vendor implementation". Another way to look at it is that an application is always allowed to implement the involved part of the SPI. In this case the changes above violate the document requirements.
