[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (CDI-14) Add instance() method to BeanManager

[Pete Muir (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-14?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12601350#comment-12601350 ] 

Pete Muir commented on CDI-14:
------------------------------

The original proposal is to add a utility method to BeanManager which returns an Instance<Object> which can be used to do programmatic lookup. Apart from the isDependentScoped method Instance exposes all of the methods you have above, and also allows for subselection. We can add a select(String beanName) to Instance easily if needed (Rick indicates that it is). This prevents us duplicating an existing API and means we don't have to make BM much more complex.

> Currently obtaining a contextual reference is quite a complex operation, adding a method like:
> Instance<Object> instance();
> would make it much easier.
