Correct, users really should hit this. It's used heavily in tests, for
instance in AbstractWebBeans tests.
Hmm, yes you might well want to use this in a standalone, unit test,
environment as an entry point.
It would be great if we can add a convenience method to
AbstractWebBeansTest. That would pretty much clear up any annoyances.
It is also used when you are entering from outside the WB environment. You
get a handle to manager and lookup the type that gives you entry. For
instance, you might look up the Identity component and then invoke some
method on it which may trigger a chain of WB injections once "inside".
Yes, this is addon frameworks, not end users.
Yep, agreed. I've found that injection is sufficient for all but those
"entry point" cases.
