Mark Struberg commented on CDI-228:
-----------------------------------
Thanks for the Observer catch, Martin! I did knew that we have it somewhere, but
didn't find it quickly ;)
I don't think we should declare this for bean constructors and
initializer method parameters
- such contextual instances logically depend on the declaring bean.
The problem here is that the CDI-1.0 spec was overly strict with the Serialization checks.
We generally didn't allow non-serializable @Dependent beans getting injected into a
passiviting Scope beans. But thats bollocks as well.
There are 2 important use cases
A.) the @Inject method param gets stored inside the class
public class X {
Y y;
@Inject
public initY(Y myY) {
myY.doSomeInit();
this.y = myY;
}
}
B.) the @Inject method param gets NOT stored inside the class
public class X {
Z z;
@Inject
public initY(Y myY) {
z = myY.createZ();
}
}
Clarify that _all_ @Dependent beans created for a containers method
invocation will get destroyed after the method exits

Key: CDI-228
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-228
Project: CDI Specification Issues
Issue Type: Clarification
Components: Contexts
Affects Versions: 1.1.EDR1
Reporter: Mark Struberg
This clarification is intended for all methods which gets invoked by the CDI container
and create a new @Dependent contextual instance especially for this invocation. This can
happen in @Observes, @Produces, @Disposal and @Inject methods as well as in @Inject
contructors. Basically any @Dependent method-parameter InjectionPoint.
Despite it's atm not specified whether this @Dependent instance will get stored, most
containers store it in the CreationalContext of the bean containing the invoked method.
This behaviour can lead to mem leaks and non-serializibility issues.
TASK: Define that any @Dependent contextual instance will get properly destroyed after
such method invocations.
There are 2 things we need to think about:
1.) any @PreDestroy method of those beans will get invoked after the method invocation,
even if the @Dependent instance will stored away in a member field and still being used
later. This will not make any problems in most cases. We just need to make people aware
that this will happen.
2.) As any Decorator or Interceptor is also an @Dependent instance on our
'temporary' created @Dependent method parameter, those Interceptors and Decorators
will _not_ be available after the method invocation. Storing away this bean and re-using
it later will probably cause an Exception.
I still think this is a small problem compared to creating tons of mem leaks. There are
quite a few workarounds possible:
*) Instead of @Inject methods you can use @Inject field + @PostConstruct to initialize
it.
*) We might add an additional annotation which denotes either @Transactional or au
contraire: @Keep for the method-param InjectionPoint
