[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (CDI-155) specify Instance<T>#destroy()

specify Instance<T>#destroy() ----------------------------- Key: CDI-155 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-155 Project: CDI Specification Issues Issue Type: Bug Components: Beans Affects Versions: 1.0 Reporter: Mark Struberg Assignee: Pete Muir Priority: Critical In CDI-14, Pete mentioned that > We would need to extend Instance<> with a void destroy(T instance); method. Ouch, very true. This is desperately needed for destroying @Dependent and other not-normalscoped beans which got created via Instance<T>#get(). This currently creates memory leaks because we have no way to dispose the CreationalContext<T> used for creating this very bean. And since the CreationalContext<T> also holds references to all Interceptors, Decorators and subsequently injected beans, those won't be released neither.
