[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (CDI-3) Add add an event that fires after all ProcessAnnotatedType events that allows you to add new AnnotatedTypes

[Mark Struberg (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-3?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12598669#comment-12598669 ] 

Mark Struberg commented on CDI-3:
---------------------------------

Not sure if this works with the lifecycle. Adding an AnnotatedType _after_ scanning the beans would most probably create kind of a chicken-egg problem. So this would require us to repeat over the bean processing over and over again until nothing changes anymore. This sounds not really sane ;)

> At the moment AnnotatedTypes can only be added in the BeforeBeanDiscovery phase. This means that if you want to install additional beans based on the beans processed in the ProcessAnnotatedType phase you must instead add implementations of the Bean interface in the AfterBeanDiscovery phase. This interface is more limited than annotated type, and does not let you exactly mimic the behaviour of beans added as AnnotatedTypes.
> Some of the things that the bean interface will not let you mimic are:
> - Interceptors 
> - Disposal methods
> - Producer fields for normal scoped beans
