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

[Arne Limburg (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-14?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12601421#comment-12601421 ] 

Arne Limburg commented on CDI-14:
---------------------------------

We even could go a step further and provide an interface to the application developer without the need of a bean-manager.
What about adding the following class to the spec:
{noformat}
public class ObjectInstance implements Instance<Object> {
    
    private Instance<Object> delegate;

    public ObjectInstance() {
        //lookup bean-manager via JNDI,
        //get Instance<Object> from bean-manager
        //and set delegate
    }

    //methods are delegated to the delegate
}
{noformat}
Every CDI-user could instantiate this class and use it to get contextual instances.

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