Re: [jsr-314-open] [2.0RevA-C071] none scoped beansand@PostConstruct Hi all, I thought a bit more about this, and while I still think @PostConstruct should be called for none scoped bean, I think we should document @PreDestroy better as we won't have many way to call the annotated method for none scoped bean. Of course, the managed bean engine could be made very intelligent and know in what context the none scoped bean is getting used. If injected into another bean, it could add the none scoped bean in an hidden map in the same scope to detect destruction, but if the none scoped bean is used directly, which is rare but possible, then I cannot think of any way to enforce @PreDestroy.
