[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] Resolved: (CDI-153) PassivationCapable producer method/field definition is ambiguous

PassivationCapable producer method/field definition is ambiguous ---------------------------------------------------------------- Key: CDI-153 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-153 Project: CDI Specification Issues Issue Type: Clarification Components: Resolution Affects Versions: 1.0 Reporter: Mark Struberg Assignee: Mark Struberg Fix For: 1.1 (Confirmed) Currently the spec paragraph 6.6.1 and 6.6.4 contradict themselfs a bit 6.6.1 (which is an overview) defines: • A producer method is passivation capable if and only if it never returns a value which is not passivation capable at runtime. A producer method with a primitive return type or a return type that implements or extends Serializable is passivation capable. A producer method with a return type that is declared final and does not implement Serializable is not passivation capable. • A producer field is passivation capable if and only if it never refers to a value which is not passivation capable at runtime. A producer field with a primitive type or a type that implements or extends Serializable is passivation cap- able. A producer field with a type that is declared final and does not implement Serializable is not passivation cap- able. and 6.6.4: If a producer field declares a passivating scope and: • the container is able to determine that it is not passivation capable by inspecting its type, then the container automatically detects the problem and treats it as a deployment problem. In some cases, the container is not able to determine whether a producer method or field is passivation capable. If a produ- cer method or field which declares a passivating scope returns an unserializable object at runtime, the container must throw an IllegalProductException. If a producer method or field of scope @Dependent returns an unserializable object for injection into an injection point that requires a passivation capable dependency, the container must throw an Illegal- ProductException
