A bean archive does not have to contain a beans.xml file -------------------------------------------------------- Key: CDI-560 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-560 Project: CDI Specification Issues Issue Type: Clarification Components: Concepts Affects Versions: 2.0-EDR1 Environment: Section 5.1 Modularity: The library is a bean archive if it contains a beans.xml file, as defined in Bean archives. It contradicts with the section 12.1 An archive which: contains a beans.xml file with the bean-discovery-mode of none, or, contains an extension and no beans.xml file is not a bean archive. Therefore, an archive with beans.xml is not a bean archive if the bean-discovery-mode = "none". I think it is better to be "The library may be a bean archive, as defined in Bean archives." Reporter: Emily Jiang Priority: Minor Fix For: 2.0-EDR2 Section 5.1 Modularity: The library is a bean archive if it contains a beans.xml file, as defined in Bean archives.
