When adding a manually constructed Bean<T> instance using AfterBeanDiscovery.addBean(Bean<?>), or using the AfterBeanDiscovery.addBean() method and the BeanConfigurator, the resulting bean can't be decorated.

This is because seemingly CDI expects the create() method of Bean<T> to locate the decorators itself and apply them to the instance it returns.

Using BeanManager.resolveDecorators one can obtain the Decorator<T> instances, but am I right that there's no portable way to actually apply those decorators to the bean instance?

Kind regards,
