[weld-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (WELD-930) Producer is made an alternative if the declaring bean class is an alternative

Producer is made an alternative if the declaring bean class is an alternative ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: WELD-930 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WELD-930 Project: Weld Issue Type: Bug Components: Producers (Methods, Fields and Disposers) Affects Versions: 1.1.0.Final Reporter: Alexey Kazakov Assignee: Marko Lukša I'm looking at examples from https://github.com/pmuir/jboss-as-developer-guide/tree/master/quickstarts There is org.jboss.as.quickstarts.login.EJBUserManager: {code:title=org.jboss.as.quickstarts.login.EJBUserManager|borderStyle=solid} ... @Named("userManager") @RequestScoped @Alternative @Stateful public class EJBUserManager implements UserManager { ... @Produces @Named @RequestScoped public List<User> getUsers() throws Exception { ... } ... } {code} And there is also another bean org.jboss.as.quickstarts.login.ManagedBeanUserManager: {code:title=org.jboss.as.quickstarts.login.ManagedBeanUserManager|borderStyle=solid} ... @Named("userManager") @RequestScoped public class ManagedBeanUserManager implements UserManager { @SuppressWarnings("unchecked") @Produces @Named @RequestScoped public List<User> getUsers() throws Exception { ... } ... } {code} This code works in Weld even if EJBUserManager.getUsers() is not annotated @Alternative. But regarding the spec such a method has an ambiguous EL name "users": {quote} 5.3.1. Ambiguous EL names An ambiguous EL name exists in an EL expression when an EL name resolves to multiple beans. When an ambiguous EL name exists, the container attempts to resolve the ambiguity. If any of the beans are alternatives, the container eliminates all beans that are not alternatives, *except for producer methods and fields of beans that are alternatives*. If there is exactly one bean remaining, the container will select this bean, and the ambiguous EL name is called resolvable. {quote} There is a comment from Pete Muir: {quote} This looks to me like a bug in Weld (one that crept in from a pre-final spec revision) - that it checks if the declaring bean class is an alternative, and if it is, makes the producer an alternative. Can you file a WELD issue for this? I'll update the quickstart to explicitly make the producer an alternative. Pete {quote}
