[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-58?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.sys... ] Pete Muir commented on CDI-58: ------------------------------ We discussed this in a special EG meeting last week. The conclusion was * allow multiple annotated types per class instance * introduce an {code} public interface IdentifiedAnnotatedType<X> extends AnnotatedType<X> { public String getId(); } {code} * if addAnnotatedType() is called, an existing AnnotatedType already exists in the bean archive (either due to scanning, or due to a previous addAnnotatedType() operation) then an instance of IdentifiedAnnotatedType must be passed, otherwise, a deployment exception will occur. * we will recommend extensions always add IdentifiedAnnotatedTypes so that they cannot cause a deployment exception due to unexpected external circumstances. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
