[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-18) Global enablement of interceptors, decorators and alternatives

[Ales Justin (Commented) (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-18?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12644313#comment-12644313 ] 

Ales Justin commented on CDI-18:
--------------------------------

>> Although, I could see how enabling ext alternative would be useful globally -- e.g. testing, where you add mocks.

> Yes, but this isn't what the spec says. Big thing to fix for 1.1 somehow.

>> Otoh, this might lead to some nasty surprises in original bean archive ...
>> ... but then again, @Specializes does exactly that, hence, imo, both things should work the same.

Perhaps @Alternative could have scope?
* @Alternative(AlternativeScope.LOCAL) or @Alternative(AlternativeScope.GLOBAL)

(same with interceptors and decorators)

> Currently the spec defines that <interceptors>, <decorators> and <alternatives> affect only the Bean Archives where they are configured in (via beans.xml). 
> Thus if you e.g. enable an Alternative in a WEB-INF/beans.xml, it does NOT count for the jars in it's WEB-INF/lib folder!
> This is pretty unhandy because you would need to repackage all your jars in your WEB-INF/lib folder and add/expand the <alternatives> sections in their beans.xml.
> Needless to say that this is not only hard to do in a company build but is also impossibly to handle at deploy time in an OSGi environment!
