[webbeans-dev] Deployment time

There may be some small inconsistencies here: Section 11.1 says that DefinitionExceptions are raised before @Initialized, and DeploymentExceptions are raised after @Initialized. The spec also talks about "an exception is raised at deployment time if..." (e.g. 2.2 "If the type of an injection point is a parameterized type with a type variable or wildcard, a DefinitionException is thrown by the container at deployment time."). Sometimes (like above) it makes sense to do this as a bean validation (i.e. for 3rd party beans too), which means that the exception will be thrown after @Initialized. To make this clearer, I think that two phases should be identified - bean definition time, and bean deployment time, the exceptional cases tied to the correct one through the spec and the 11.1 statement modified accordingly. -- Pete Muir http://www.seamframework.org http://in.relation.to/Bloggers/Pete
