Pete Muir commented on CDI-129:
-------------------------------

Gerhard, Mark, we can't redefine what @Singleton means from the @Inject specification. CDI builds on this specification and can't redefine parts of it as required.  Also please bear in mind that this debate is *not* about which option you would most like to see, it's about clarifying what the spec meant originally as it wasn't clear as this confusion arose.

> 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.
