[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-469?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.sy... ] Jozef Hartinger commented on CDI-469: ------------------------------------- My understanding of the usecase is the following: Suppose we have a *binding* qualifier: {code:JAVA} @Qualifier ... public @interface Converter { String value(); } {code} and we want to produce several distinct beans e.g.: @ApplicationScoped @Converter("foo") Function<?,?> @ApplicationScoped @Converter("bar") Function<?,?> We have to write a separate producer method for each, specifying the binding qualifier. We cannot write one producer to produce both foo and bar. We do not however want to duplicate the producer method code. Instead, we would like to direct creation to the single generic method that, should it know the value of @Converter annotation, is capable of creating the bean instance. Something like binding at the injection point side but non-binding at the producer side. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.1#6329)
