[cdi-dev] AfterBeanDiscovery in the light of CDI-392

Hi all, I see an inconsistency between the resolution of CDI-392 and the current wording of "11.5.3. AfterBeanDiscovery event". addBean(): "Fires an event of type ProcessBean containing the given Bean and then registers the Bean with the container, thereby making it available for injection into other beans. The given Bean may implement Interceptor or Decorator." On the other hand BeanManager.getBeans() javadoc: "Note that when called during invocation of an AfterBeanDiscovery event observer, this method will only return beans discovered by the container before the AfterBeanDiscovery event is fired." It seems ProcessBean should be fired and the bean should be registred when addBean() is called BUT in the same time it should not be available via BeanManager.getBeans() until all AfterBeanDiscovery observers are processed. The same applies to observer methods. Weld 2.2.0.Final delays the ProcessBean/registration until all AfterBeanDiscovery observers are processed (note that it's not backwards compatible). I believe this is correct. If so, the AfterBeanDiscovery event description should be clarified. Otherwise the RI must be changed (and I'm afraid it wouldn't be that trivial). -- Martin Kouba Software Engineer Red Hat, Czech Republic
