Clarify: "archive which contains an extension" ---------------------------------------------- Key: CDI-741 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-741 Project: CDI Specification Issues Issue Type: Clarification Components: Portable Extensions Affects Versions: 2.0 .Final Reporter: Harald Wellmann Priority: Major According to Section 12.1, {quote}An archive which contains an extension and no beans.xml file is not a bean archive. {quote} According to Section 11.5, {quote} An extension is a service provider of the service javax.enterprise.inject.spi.Extension declared in META-INF/services {quote} Conclusion: An archive containing a class implementing {{javax.enterprise.inject.spi.Extension}} but not declaring this class in {{META-INF/services}} does not contain an extension. So if this archive contains a class with a bean-defining annotation and no {{beans.xml}}, then it is a bean archive. The TCK is missing a test for this scenario (archive with extension class but no service registration), it only has a test for the more obvious case of an archive with extension class *and* service registration. If my interpretation is correct, then WildFly 15 has a bug, since it disqualifies any archive containing an {{Extension}} class, regardless of the service registration. Side note: It would be helpful for readers looking for the exact definition of extensions to move the sentence quoted above from Section 11.5 to the introductory paragraph of Section 11.
