Hi Emily,
the problem is Specialization is not defined per bean archive but per
application. A bean is either specialized or not. Note that
specialization is not tied to alternatives.
WRT your use-case: the specializing bean should be enabled globally or
in each bean archive which is using the specialized bean.

Thank you Tom and Matej for your response!
The alternative was enabled in the archive beans-xml-modified.jar, but
it is not enabled in the archive beans-xml-modified2.jar. The issue is
not with alternative but with Specialized.
At the moment, Weld specialized is effective even if itself is not
enabled, which is not desirable because it disables other bean but
itself is not enabled. As a consequence, this causes deployment error.
The CDI 1.2 section 4.3 spec says:
When an enabled bean, as defined in Section 5.1.2, “Enabled and disabled
beans”, specializes
a second bean, we can be certain that the second bean is never
instantiated or called by the
container. Even if the second bean defines a producer or observer
method, the method will never
be called.
It is true the above sentence comments about an enabled bean. It hits an
disabled bean should not specialize a second bean. If you guys think it
is unclear, can we update the spec to clarify this scenario?
By the way, OWB and Weld behave differently (Weld thinks a disabled bean
still specializes a second bean while OWB thinks a disabled bean does
NOT specialize a second bean). This is something we can leave to
implementation. We should spec it!

Hello Emily
I agree with Tom. In your case, specialized producer is enabled (via
beans.xml) although only per bean archive.
And about this:
>>From Weld's perspective, any bean annotated with @Specialized disables a
second bean regardless whether itself is active or not.
It is true, however the spec doesn't define how does a @Specialized
bean behave when it is disabled (or at least I haven't found that bit).
So this leaves it up to implementation and I can't really see a
problem with it. Why would you create a @Specialized bean and
disable it afterwards (with no other @Specialized and/or
@Alternative active)?

Hi Emily,
I am not sure I follow. What is disabled?
AlternativeCounterProducerModified? I can see
AlternativeCounterProducerModified is enabled in beans.xml of the
given bean archive and it means it is selected alternative only per
the bean archive. So I can't see any problem (or maybe I don't fully
understand).

any thoughts?
Should a bean with @Specialize disable a bean even if it is disabled
itself?

After further investigation and talking to Martin from Weld, the
error was caused due to the fact of
AlternativeCounterProducerModified disabling the
CounterProducerModified bean but itself is not enabled in the jar of
beans-xml-modified2.jar. Therefore, no producer is active to produce
a bean with the qualifier CounterModifiedQualifier.
>From Weld's perspective, any bean annotated with @Specialized

My understanding is that the specialized should only take effect if
itself is enabled. Otherwise, we run into the situation of where the
specialized bean is not enabled but it disabled another bean. To me,
it is wrong.
I also checked the spec:
@Alternative @Specializes
public class MockAsynchronousService extends AsynchronousService {
...
}
When an enabled bean, as defined in Section 5.1.2, “Enabled and
disabled beans”, specializes
a second bean, we can be certain that the second bean is never
instantiated or called by the
container. Even if the second bean defines a producer or observer
method, the method will never
be called.
The spec says only an enabled bean can specialize a second bean. I
would like to know what other people think.
Thanks
Emily
