[cdi-dev] Clarification for manually resolving 'Instance'

Hi! Currently both Weld and OWB blow up if I resolve an unparameterized 'Instance' object. beanManager.getBeans(Instance.class); will return zero beans, so there is no way to call beanManager.getReference ... Of course with a little trick I was able to get it working in OWB: Type instanceType = new TypeLiteral<Instance<Object>>(){}.getType(); Set<Bean<?>> beans = beanManager.getBeans(instanceType); (did not test it on Weld yet) My question is which behaviour is expected. This question could maybe be generalized to: how do beans for parameterized types need to get handled? LieGrue, strub
