[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-377?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.sy... ] Antoine Sabot-Durand commented on CDI-377: ------------------------------------------ @Romain according to section 2.5 CDI scopes are bean defining annotations. Its not the case of @named, @inject, etc.. The only scope that is common to CDI and JSR 330 is {{@Singleton}}. This is the presence of this scope on Guice or Spring Beans that triggers CDI thanks to annotated discovery mode. As CDI hardly supports {{@Singleton}} (not a mention in the spec and warning to not use in RI doc) we could imagine to exclude it from the list of Bean defining annotations. That wouldn't mean we don't support it that would mean that class annotated with {{@Singleton}} won't transform the archive in implicit bean archive. It can still be taken as such by adding a {{@Dependent}} or {{@ApplicationScoped}} somewhere or making the archive explicit by putting a beans.xml in it. We can explain in the spec that we excluded it to assure compatibility with other JSR 330 framework : making CDI friendly and not s***ing solution.
