Implicit bean archive compatibility issue ----------------------------------------- Key: CDI-351 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-351 Project: CDI Specification Issues Issue Type: Bug Components: Portable Extensions Affects Versions: 1.1.PFD Reporter: Jozef Hartinger Assignee: Pete Muir Priority: Blocker Fix For: 1.1.FD Assume an existing extension library (CDI 1.0). This library is not deployed as a bean archive (it does not contain beans.xml). Instead, the library contains an extension which registers beans, interceptors, etc. using BeforeBeanDiscovery.addAnnotatedType(). With CDI 1.1 the no-bean-archive assumption no longer holds and since a scope annotation is used somewhere in the extension, this extension is now recognized as an implicit bean archive. That causes the discovered beans to clash with those added programatically. *Note that it is not possible to fix this by adding beans.xml with bean-discovery-mode set to "none". This would fix the problem in CDI 1.1 but the presence of beans.xml would break the extension in a CDI 1.0 container*.
