What sort of unit test are you thinking of? The unit tests we do in Web Beans and the TCK run WB, so cause the injection to occur (do we need to provide a mock logger?!) - I though you used a similar thing in Seam...

Yeah, the split is un-obvious (esp due to naming), but we wanted a module we could use inside the RI, that didn't have the producer method on it....

So I'm wondering, what should the standard signature of this injection be? Always a field injection (as opposed to a constructor injection)? What about access (package or private)?

private @Logger Log log;

The reason I ask about access (and constructor injection) is because this could be the one pain in the side to unit testing a bean. Package access just makes it easier to inject a stub. What would be interesting is if the field could be seeded with a stub so that the logger just works in a unit test.

private @Logger Log log = new NoOpLogImpl();

The injection would overwrite this value. Just an idea.
