CDI portable extensions with missing dependencies in fields fail to deploy -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: WFLY-2054 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-2054 Project: WildFly Issue Type: Bug Components: CDI / Weld Affects Versions: 8.0.0.Alpha4 Reporter: Ron Šmeral Assignee: Martin Kouba Attachments: cdi-ext-missing-dependency-reproducer.jar The following CDI extension *fails to deploy* if Foo is not on classpath: {code} public class BrokenExtension implements Extension { private Foo foo; } {code} However, if the missing dependency is not a field but a parent class as in the following, the extension is disregarded by the container, but the archive *deploys successfully*: {code} public class BrokenExtension extends Foo implements Extension { } {code} It would be more consistent if the behaviour from the second case applied in both cases.
