In fact, this makes me wonder if there isn't an "obvious" solution staring us in the face? If we clarify that @ApplicationScoped means "shared across the ear" and also that the same bean class packaged in two locations which are not visible to one another (e.g. warA and war B) and cannot share state. Now we provide both options of ear scoped state and war scoped state, and the state is only shared if the bean class is packaged in a shared library or shared module (e.g. ejb module).

This is correct and will reflect the preservation of behaviour when WARs are packaged inside EARs. At the same time please note that the deployment of the same class in multiple archives within the same deployment is deemed non-portable. So perhaps we can add a clause indicating that non-portability is an issue here *if the beans from different archives are visible at the same time*.

> 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.
