Thorben Janssen commented on CDI-45:
------------------------------------
{code}Instance<T> extends Iterable<T>{code} and therefore might contain more
than one MyBean instances. It would not be possible to inject only one or no MyBean
instances.
I like the Java8 Optional idea. It is similar to the existing Instance approach, avoids
null checks and fits to the planned Java 8 enhancements.
Optional Injection Points
-------------------------
Key: CDI-45
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-45
Project: CDI Specification Issues
Issue Type: Feature Request
Components: Resolution
Affects Versions: 1.0
Reporter: Stuart Douglas
Fix For: 2.0 (discussion)
There are occoasions where it may be useful for some injection points to be optional,
e.g.
@Inject
@Optional
MyBean bean;
This would behave the same as a normal injection point, however it will not cause the
deployment to fail if it is not satisified.
