Add the possibility to unmanage a bean instance ----------------------------------------------- Key: CDI-561 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-561 Project: CDI Specification Issues Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Beans Affects Versions: 1.2.Final, 1.1.Final, 2.0-EDR1 Reporter: Antoine Sabot-Durand Fix For: 2.0 (discussion) CDI implementations make heavy uses of proxies to support normal scope and interceptor decorators. There are use case where being able to have a bean instance without its proxy could be useful * Accessing the true class of the instance in a clean way * Being able to capture an instance state to use its information outside CDI or as an event payload The limitation we have on Async event is probably a good example. As we don't propagate active normal context at firing time, it's not possible to inject a bean with such a scope (except {{@ApplicationScoped}} since Application context is shared), it could be useful to give the possibility to copy such a bean instance to a standard pojo instance so it could be used as event payload for instance. We could even imagine that the mechanism could be transparently activated if an asynchronous observer inject a {{@RequestScoped}} or {{@SessionScoped}} bean.
