Clarify InterceptionFactory.ignoreFinalMethods() purpose and functioning ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: CDI-670 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-670 Project: CDI Specification Issues Issue Type: Clarification Reporter: Martin Kouba Assignee: Antoine Sabot-Durand Priority: Critical Fix For: 2.0 .Final It should be clear that {{InterceptionFactory.ignoreFinalMethods()}} only affects the generation of the "proxy" which enables interception. E.g. the following example would FAIL during validation of {{myFoo}} injection point (bootstrap): {code:java} @Inject Foo myFoo; @Produces @RequestScoped // -> Requires a client proxy public Foo produce(InterceptionFactory<Foo> interceptionFactory) { // Suppose Foo has a final method return interceptionFactory.ignoreFinalMethods().createInterceptedInstance(new Foo()); } {code} The reason is that the CDI container must treat the producer as a deployment problem (unless {{javax.enterprise.inject.spi.ProcessBeanAttributes.ignoreFinalMethods()}} is used for the producer method). I understand that it's not very intuitive. On the other hand, these are two different concepts. I.e. the *injection point validation happens during bootstrap* while the {{InterceptionFactory}} *is used at runtime*.
