2.) In the legacy mode (enablement for bean archive)

Global enablement of interceptors, decorators and alternatives -------------------------------------------------------------- Key: CDI-18 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-18 Project: CDI Specification Issues Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Beans, Decorators, Interceptors, Packaging and Deployment Affects Versions: 1.0 Reporter: Mark Struberg Assignee: Pete Muir Priority: Critical Fix For: 1.1.PRD Currently the spec defines that <interceptors>, <decorators> and <alternatives> affect only the Bean Archives where they are configured in (via beans.xml). Thus if you e.g. enable an Alternative in a WEB-INF/beans.xml, it does NOT count for the jars in it's WEB-INF/lib folder! This is pretty unhandy because you would need to repackage all your jars in your WEB-INF/lib folder and add/expand the <alternatives> sections in their beans.xml. Needless to say that this is not only hard to do in a company build but is also impossibly to handle at deploy time in an OSGi environment!
