[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (WFLY-10029) bean-discovery-mode="annotated" is not working like described in the spec

bean-discovery-mode="annotated" is not working like described in the spec ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: WFLY-10029 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-10029 Project: WildFly Issue Type: Bug Components: CDI / Weld Affects Versions: 10.1.0.Final Reporter: Ralph Soika Assignee: Martin Kouba Priority: Minor Labels: beans.xml I think we have a problem in Wildfly 10 concerning scanning of CDI Beans. Take a look at the following example: {code:java} @Stateless @LocalBean public class SomeService { ... } public class SomeClass { @EJB SomeService someService; .... } {code} We have a stateless session ejb an a bean which is not annotated with a scope but is injecting the service EJB. If you use a beans.xml with the tag: {noformat} bean-discovery-mode="annotated" {noformat} this works in wildfly 10 - the _someService_ is injected into the _someClass_ which is treated as a CDI bean. But this is not a correct behavior as stated in the specification. It says, that in this case only beans with a scope annotation should be treated as CDI which is not the case for SomeClass. Normally, as a developer, you would not complain much about this. So this is only a minor issue. I recognized this after I tried to run my application on Glassfish/Payara4 which did no longer work until I changed the beans.xml tag to: {noformat} bean-discovery-mode="all" {noformat} Now it works in both application servers. I think in wildfly we are misinterpreting the attribute "bean-discovery-mode". I think this should be changed in the next versions for EE8. I don't know if this behavior is a known issue and maybe it is still under development. I know also that with such a change some projects (also my own ones) will break. So maybe a new configuration switch like "strict-cdi-scanning" is helpful. What do you think?
