Re: [webbeans-dev] Re: Instead of deployment types

BTW, what exactly are the implications of adopting this rule for the SPI? Do we still need to pass some sort Module object around, or can the container figure it out based upon the Class objects?

Does the container just call theClass.getClassLoader() and then cast it to some internal ClassLoader subclass to determine exactly where the class came from?

We need to figure out how this works so I can update the SPI.
