[weld-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (CDI-35) add support for 'optional' beans

add support for 'optional' beans -------------------------------- Key: CDI-35 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-35 Project: CDI Specification Issues Issue Type: Feature Request Affects Versions: 1.0 Reporter: Mark Struberg sometimes it's neat to mark a bean as @Optional depending if a specified class can get loaded or not. This is a simple way to implement deployment specific functionality. An example would be a BvalSupportBean which only should become active if the JSR-303 bean validation API can be found on the classpath.
