[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-10?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.sys... ] Bauke Scholtz edited comment on CDI-10 at 3/11/16 10:08 AM: ------------------------------------------------------------ Another use case I discovered during developing JSF <f:websocket>: being able to use package private methods (or fields) among CDI beans. Imagine a session scoped CDI bean and a dependent CDI producer in same package which needs to reference a mutable property of the session scoped CDI bean during inject time (which is necessary as the CDI session scope is not necessarily active during actual usage of the mutable object). As this object is mutable, I'd rather keep it package private. Based on among others https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OWB-931 I understand that package private instance methods in CDI beans are subject to serious memory leaks, so I'd rather not have them. The only possibility is having a package private static method which takes the instance and then returns the private field. {code:java} @SessionScoped public class SomeSessionScopedBean { private Map<String, Object> map; static Map<String, Object> getMap(SomeSessionScopedBean instance) { return instance.map; } } {code} This only doesn't work if the passed-in argument is actually a proxy instance obtained via {{@Inject}}. I had to work around it with {{context.get(bean)}}, but this theoretically less efficient than just unwrapping the proxy instance. was (Author: bauke): Another use case I discovered during developing JSF <f:websocket>: being able to use package private methods (or fields) among CDI beans.
