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

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-234?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.sy... ] Jozef Hartinger commented on CDI-234: ------------------------------------- There may be a glitch with the proposed handling of annotation members of qualifiers. Consider this example: {code:JAVA} @Qualifier @Target({ TYPE, METHOD, PARAMETER, FIELD }) @Retention(RUNTIME) public @interface Language { String value(); @Nonbinding String level() default "beginner"; } @Qualifier @Target({ TYPE, METHOD, PARAMETER, FIELD }) @Retention(RUNTIME) public @interface Languages { Language[] value(); } public class LanguageSchool { @Produces @Languages({ @Language(value = "english", level = "intermediate"), @Language(value = "spanish", level = "beginner") } ) final Person joe = new Person(); } public class Foo { @Inject @Languages({ @Language("english"), @Language("spanish") }) Object candidate; } {code} Although the *level* member of the Language qualifier is annotated @Nonbinding it *won't be excluded* from consideration during typesafe resolution if the qualifier is used as a annotation member of another qualifier (@Languages). On the other hand, @Nonbinding will work as expected if applied directly to a bean / injection point. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
