[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-348) Clarify which beans "have" bean defining annotations

Clarify which beans "have" bean defining annotations ---------------------------------------------------- Key: CDI-348 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-348 Project: CDI Specification Issues Issue Type: Clarification Components: Beans Affects Versions: 1.1.PFD Reporter: Jozef Hartinger Assignee: Pete Muir Priority: Blocker Fix For: 1.1.FD {quote}Any bean which has scope type is said to have a bean defining annotation.{quote} The spec makes this vague statement and provides two examples which only cover the two simplest cases. What remains unclear is: - if a bean class inherits a scope annotation definition from a superclass, should it be discovered in an implicit bean archive? - if a bean inherits a scope from a stereotype, should it be discovered in an implicit bean archive? - if a producer method / field has a scope annotation but the declaring bean is not a bean with bean defining annotation, whould the producer be discovered?
