[webbeans-dev] producer method trumps raw dependent type?

After the recent revisions of the JSR-299 spec, I'm finding that I'm a tad confused about the bean selection algorithm when a producer method exists. Consider the following: class PotatoChip { } class SnackFactory() { public @Produces PotatoChip createPotatoChip() { return new PotatoChip(); } } 1) Does the produced PotatoChip take precedence over the raw dependent type when being selected for injection? 2) How do I get the Bean<PotatoChip> that represents the producer method? BeanManager#getBeans(PotatoChip.class) returns two beans that are indistinguishable from the public API. 3) What if the producer method is @RequestScoped? How do I get the request-scoped produce instead of the dependent bean? Bean<PotatoChip> potatoChipBean = null; for (Bean<PotatoChip> candidate : getBeans(PotatoChip.class)) { if (candidate.getScopeType().equals(RequestScoped.class)) { potatoChipBean = candidate; break; } } Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question. The spec has changed a lot and my memory is getting mixed in with the current set of facts. -Dan -- Dan Allen Senior Software Engineer, Red Hat | Author of Seam in Action Registered Linux User #231597 http://mojavelinux.com http://mojavelinux.com/seaminaction http://in.relation.to/Bloggers/Dan
