[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (CDI-129) Clarify behaviour of @ApplicationScoped in EARs

[Jozef Hartinger (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-129?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12614800#comment-12614800 ] 

Jozef Hartinger commented on CDI-129:
-------------------------------------

There is a similar issue related to events. I am not sure if the proposed solution for the @ApplicationScoped issues fixes the events issue implicitly or a clarification of the Events chapter is needed. The issue follows:

Should a web application bundled within an ear should be notified of an event fired by another web application bundled within the same ear? The observer resolution algorithm should take bean visibility into account and notify only those observer methods from whom the event firer is visible.

> Since @ApplicationScoped currently is defined in 6.5.2 as to be 'like in the Servlet specification' this means that you will get a new instance for every WebApplication (WAR file).
> There is currently no specified CDI scope for providing a single shared instance for a whole EAR.
> We could (ab-)use @Singleton for that, but this is currently not well defined at all.
> Alternatively we could introduce an own new annotation like @EnterpriseScoped or likes.
