Hi Michael,

you may also consider the following possibilities:

1) the class defining producer method is not a bean itself (in CDI 1.2 use beans.xml with both version 1.1 and bean-discovery-mode of annotated and don't apply any bean defining annotation)

2) define a qualifier and use it either on bean or producer method in conjunction with inject

Greetings,

I recently ran into a situation where I had created a producer method for an object but when Weld was starting up I got errors about something being ambiguous. I finally tracked the issue to the fact that the bean my producer method was responsible for producing only had a default no-arg constructor. I was able to "work around" this problem by annotating the bean as an @Alternative. So I have a few questions.

(1)
Is this expected behavior from CDI? If a bean only has the default no-arg constructor should you get an ambiguous error if you also have a producer method for the bean?

(2)
Is annotating the bean as an @Alternative an acceptable "work around"? Seems hackish to me. If not, what is the appropriate solution.

Thanks!
