Similarly to JSF my use case that the type of applications I need to support do not have such a specific execution flow as to allow me to define a singleton scope. Instead the users must be able to define the scope at a particular place in the execution flow. My workaround is to require that the users create a new scope annotation for each such scope and meta-annotate it with the data consumed by my extension. Then they can use their custom annotation for their custom scoped classes. This is however inconvenient for the most common case of a single custom-scoped class. Given however attributes on scopes are used in JSF should I open an issue for the CDI spec to support this use case?

If this was allowed, I suppose BeanManager.getContext() [3] would have taken an annotation parameter instead of an annotation type.

Hmm, I think it is not forbidden to add another plain java annotation. However, having it working as scope and cdi qualifier in the same time won't work.
