add a bean-discovery-mode 'scoped' ---------------------------------- Key: CDI-420 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-420 Project: CDI Specification Issues Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Packaging and Deployment Affects Versions: 1.2.Final, 1.1.Final Reporter: Mark Struberg Labels: F2F2016 Fix For: 2.0 .Final This is for some future CDI release. We currently only have 3 bean-discovery-modes * none * all * annotated The spec also currently says that ProcessAnnotatedType will only get fired (12.4) for • each Java class, interface or enum deployed in an explicit bean archive, and • each Java class with a bean defining annotation in an implicit bean archive. • each session bean Which means that we do not get the ProcessAnnotatedType (PAT) event for any class in an 'annotated' or 'implicit' BDA which does _not_ have a bean defining annotation. It might be useful to fire the ProcessAnnotatedType for all classes, but do not pick them up as Beans if they (after PAT) do not have a valid scope. Effectively doing the processing but not make them @Dependent automatically if there is no scope annotation at the end of the PAT processing. I'm not yet 100% sure how important this distinction is in practice. Just writing this up to not forget about the idea...
