[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-87?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.sys... ] Mark Struberg commented on CDI-87: ---------------------------------- To clarify what is meant (I guess): The beans.xml syntax should get extended with explicit <exclude> and <include> tags which can be used for performance tuning of the classpath scanning. E.g. if you have a backend project which contains a big amount of JPA entities, it would not make sense to scan this directory. So you can just add <beans> <scan> <exclude>org/myproject/entities</exclude> </scan> </beans> Of course we need to clarify include/exclude order and stuff. e.g. <beans> <scan> <exclude>/</exclude> <include>org/myproject/services</include> </scan> </beans> We also need to clarify how the syntax of the include and exclude tags should look like: regexp or package names, etc -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
