After the recent revisions of the JSR-299 spec, I&#39;m finding that I&#39;m a tad confused about the bean selection algorithm when a producer method exists.<br><br>Consider the following:<br><br>class PotatoChip {<br>}<br>
<br>class SnackFactory() {<br>    public @Produces PotatoChip createPotatoChip() {<br>        return new PotatoChip();<br>    }<br>}<br><br>1) Does the produced PotatoChip take precedence over the raw dependent type when being selected for injection?<br>
<br>2) How do I get the Bean&lt;PotatoChip&gt; that represents the producer method?<br><br>BeanManager#getBeans(PotatoChip.class) returns two beans that are indistinguishable from the public API.<br><br>3) What if the producer method is @RequestScoped? How do I get the request-scoped produce instead of the dependent bean?<br>
<br>      Bean&lt;PotatoChip&gt; potatoChipBean = null;<br>      for (Bean&lt;PotatoChip&gt; candidate : getBeans(PotatoChip.class))<br>      {<br>         if (candidate.getScopeType().equals(RequestScoped.class))<br>         {<br>
            potatoChipBean = candidate;<br>            break;<br>         }<br>      }<br><br>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.<br>
