[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-274) BeanManager#getBeans() shall throw an Exception if called before AfterDeploymentValidation

BeanManager#getBeans() shall throw an Exception if called before AfterDeploymentValidation ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: CDI-274 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-274 Project: CDI Specification Issues Issue Type: Bug Components: Beans Affects Versions: 1.1.EDR Reporter: Mark Struberg Fix For: 1.1 (Proposed) We recently had the erroneous case in DeltaSpike that an Extension did call BeanManager#getBeans() in an @Observes ProcessBean method. Doing so leads to random behaviour as the result of getBeans() depends on the order in which the other beans got processed already. E.g. getBeans(Object.class) will return an empty list for the first bean getting processed, and will return all beans -1 for the last bean. That just makes no sense and will create unreproducible bugs. PROPOSAL: We shall add spec language to BeanManager#getBeans() that any invocation before the AfterDeploymentValidation phase will result in a deployment error.
