[cdi-dev] CDI and generics

Hi all, At the OpenWebBeans list we are currently discussing handling of generics in CDI. I found a test in the CDI 1.1 TCK, which imho has a bug. The test is org.jboss.cdi.tck.tests.inheritance.generics.MemberLevelInheritanceTest and the (simplified) deployment scenario is the following: public class Baz<T> { } public class Qux extends Baz<String> { } @Vetoed public class Bar<T1, T2> { @Inject private Baz<T1> baz; @Inject private Baz<List<T2>> t2BazList; } @RequestScoped public class Foo extends Bar<String, Qux> { } public class Producer { @Produces @Amazing public String produceString() { return "ok"; } @Produces public String[] produceStringArray() { return new String[0]; } @Produces public Baz<Baz<Qux>> produceBazBazQux() { return new Baz(); } } The class Bar has some more injection points, but that does not matter. Due to the TCK this deployment should work, but I don't know how. Question: Is Baz a Bean (I suppose so) and may it be injected into Bean Foo, more precisely into the second injection point of class Bar? - If yes, it also should be injected into the first injection point, right? This would lead to an AmbiguousResolutionException since Qux may also be injected into the first injection point. - If no, the deployment should fail with a UnsatisfiedResolutionException since there is no Bean that can be injected into that injection point. Is this a bug in the TCK and if not, how is this supposed to work? Cheers, Arne
