[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-234) behavior of arrays without @Nonbinding

behavior of arrays without @Nonbinding -------------------------------------- Key: CDI-234 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-234 Project: CDI Specification Issues Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Concepts Affects Versions: 1.0 Reporter: Romain Manni-Bucau Assignee: Pete Muir Priority: Minor Fix For: 1.1.PRD The spec says: "Array-valued or annotation-valued members of a qualifier type should be annotated @Nonbinding in a portable application. If an array-valued or annotation-valued member of a qualifier type is not annotated @Nonbinding, non-portable behavior results." The case of arrays without this annotation should be managed to get a better portability. The equality of arrays is determined through "Arrays" helper (http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/annotation/Annotat...) so i don't think there is any technical issue to consider arrays as a field.
