>                 Key: CDI-221
>                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-221
>             Project: CDI Specification Issues
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Decorators
>            Reporter: Marko Lukša
>            Priority: Minor
>             Fix For: 1.1 (Proposed)
>
>
> I propose the following addition to section 8.1:
> "If the set of decorated types of a decorator is empty, the container automatically detects the problem and treats it as a definition error."
> This would be helpful in cases where the developer is not aware that a decorator and decorated bean must share the same interface, and thinks that a decorator can be defined simply by extending the decorated class (as in the following example).
> {code}
> public class MyBean {
>     public Object foo() {...}
> }
> @Decorator
> public class MyDecorator extends MyBean {
>     @Inject @Delegate MyBean delegate;
>     public Object foo() {...}
> }
> {code}
> Even though the spec does explicitly state that "superclasses are not decorated types of the decorator", throwing an error would probably save some people's debugging time.
