An example: {code} @ApplicationScoped public class ContainerBean { @Produces @RequestScoped Something something = new Something(1, 2, 3); void throwAway(@Disposes Something sthg) { sthg.destroyMe(); } } {code} The problem is that each request will take 'something' from the @ApplicationScoped ContainerBean. Thus all requests share the same contextual instance! Afer the first request ends, the disposal method 'throwAway' will destroy the information inside the variable 'something' and leaves it in a broken state for all other requests -> bang... -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
