Default names should maybe follow the inferring rules from the JavaBean spec ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: CDI-525 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-525 Project: CDI Specification Issues Issue Type: Clarification Affects Versions: 1.2.Final Reporter: Martin Kouba *3.1.5. Default bean name for a managed bean*: {quote} The default name for a managed bean is the unqualified class name of the bean class, after converting the first character to lower case. {quote} As a result, the default name for a bean class {{URLMatcher}} should be {{uRLMatcher}}. On the other hand the JavaBean spec is using different rules when inferring property names, *8.8 Capitalization of inferred names*: {quote} However to support the occasional use of all upper-case names, we check if the first two characters of the name are both upper case and if so leave it alone. {quote} I.e. the property name for getter {{getURLMatcher()}} woud be {{URLMatcher}}. Note that there is no TCK test for this and so implementations may differ (issue is already filed: CDITCK-473). Weld is using {{java.beans.Introspector.decapitalize()}} and so it follows the JavaBean spec even now. I'm not sure about OpenWebBeans.
