[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-456) fix Bean#getBeanClass() definition

fix Bean#getBeanClass() definition ---------------------------------- Key: CDI-456 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-456 Project: CDI Specification Issues Issue Type: Bug Components: Beans Reporter: Mark Struberg currently Bean#getBeanClass() is defined to return the class of the bean it produces but has one important exception: in case of a producer method or field it must return the class of the owner bean of this method or field. Imo this only causes troubles and doesn't add any benefit. * At the time when 'using' the Bean (create and destroy) we always ONLY need the type which is to be created. * At the time we create interceptors we ONLY need the type which is to be created; * At the time we create the normalscoping proxies we ONLY need the type which is to be created; In fact the only time we need the ownerBean is when scanning the methods and fields in it. And for creating we really need the owner-Bean and not it's bean-class! In OWB we worked around this by having our own method getReturnType() which consistently returns the type which gets created.
