Specifiy @Named @Alternatives ----------------------------- Key: CDI-407 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-407 Project: CDI Specification Issues Issue Type: Clarification Components: Beans, Inheritance and Specialization Reporter: Thomas Andraschko It's actually a must-have for product development and a common case. We would like to have multiple implementations in our core and just activate them via alternative. I talked with struberg and its currently not defined in the specs. e.g. @Named public class A @Named @Alternative public class B extends A What should acutally happen if B is activated via beans.xml? IMO B should be available in EL via "a" and "b".
