Hi Benjamin, the lifecycle of @Dependent instances created through javax.enterprise.inject.spi.CDI is not well defined. So it's always better to destroy such instances when not needed. However, it would make sense to destroy such instances during shutdown. I believe this works in Weld SE. What environment/runtime do you use?
