-----------------------------------

Hi Vincent!

Maybe we need to clarify further what we both understand under the term 'dynamic Bean'

What I meant is: dynamically adding Bean<T> metainformation to the container at runtime. E.g. disabling a class or adding a Bean<T> under load which would completely change the behaviour of the container.
I think this is very dangerous.

What will perfectly work already is the following: Have a Bean<T> which gets parsed and scanned on startup and which behaves differently in Contextual<T>#create() depending on the situation and it might even change it's behaviour at runtime (to some degree). 

Currently it will be a bad idea to e.g. change the EL name of a bean at runtime. This will produce crap if the EL-Resolver caches the name-> bean mapping for example. We could introduce a Bean<T>#isDynamic() to prevent the container from applying caching in CDI-1.1.
But a fundamental design decision as of today is that the rules which lead to finding that Bean<T> do not change.

Maybe you could explain what kind of 'dynamics' you have in XWiki?
