Allow BeanManager methods, such as getBeans in AfterDeploymentValidation observers ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: CDI-315 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-315 Project: CDI Specification Issues Issue Type: Bug Components: Beans Reporter: Marek Schmidt Assignee: Pete Muir Fix For: 1.1.PFD CDI-274 which disallows some BeanManager methods during application initialization is too strict. Mark's original suggestion for CDI-274 contained a very important part "...before the AfterDeploymentValidation phase". AfterDeploymentValidation observers would be quite useless if we can't use BeanManager.getBeans in them IMHO, and I think there is no reason to disallow BeanManager methods in AfterDeploymentValidation, so we should allow them there... So maybe something like: "IllegalStateException if called during application initialization before the AfterDeploymentValidation phase"
