Specialization code sample is misleading ---------------------------------------- Key: CDI-600 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-600 Project: CDI Specification Issues Issue Type: Clarification Components: Inheritance and Specialization Affects Versions: 2.0-EDR1 Reporter: Matej Novotny Fix For: 2.0-EDR2 In the spec, there is following code sample explaining how to achieve specialization: {code} @Alternative @Specializes public class MockAsynchronousService extends AsynchronousService { ... } {code} This is IMHO misleading as the {{@Alternative}} annotation is not needed for specialization to work and hence should be removed from this sample. In fact one user approached me recently, asking me some questions regarding CDI specialization, and this sample was a source of his confusion.
