Re: [weld-dev] How to avoid classes being picked as managed beans?

Also, it is portable, as it's based on the portable extension facility in CDI. Since you can write your own extensions, the solutions to your question are boundless. i can give you some other starting points to consider. Instead of including beans.xml, which will automatically cause all candidate types to be picked up as beans, you can go the other route and leave out beans.xml, and register beans explicitly. Here's an example: public class ManualBeanRegistrationExtension implements Extension { public void registerBeans(@Observes BeforeBeanDiscovery event, BeanManager bm) { event.addAnnotatedType(bm.createAnnotatedType(BeanClassToRegister.class)); } } Another approach is to use Weld's scanning configuration. That is a non-portable solution, though, so you'd have weigh that. If I'm not mistaken, that feature is being discussed for CDI 1.1. http://docs.jboss.org/weld/reference/1.1.0.Final/en-US/html/configure.htm... -Dan -- Dan Allen Principal Software Engineer, Red Hat | Author of Seam in Action Registered Linux User #231597 http://www.google.com/profiles/dan.j.allen#about http://mojavelinux.com http://mojavelinux.com/seaminaction
