[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-220) behaviour of CDI bean @Specializes session bean is undefined

[Martin Kouba (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-220?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12678549#comment-12678549 ] 

Martin Kouba commented on CDI-220:
----------------------------------

Section 3.1.4. Specializing a managed bean states:
"If a bean class of a managed bean X is annotated @Specializes, then the bean class of X must directly extend the bean class of another managed bean Y. Then X directly specializes Y, as defined in Section 4.3, “Specialization”.
*If the bean class of X does not directly extend the bean class of another managed bean, the container automatically detects the problem and treats it as a definition error.*"

So your code (Trakehner = managed bean, Horse = session bean) should result in definition error.

> The current spec doesn't define what should happen if a CDI bean @Specializes a session bean, e.g.
> @Stateless
> public class Horse {..}
> @ApplicationScoped @Specializes
> public class Trakehner extends Horse {..}
> Section 3.2.4 explicitely forbids the other way around. I think we should also treat the above case as error.
> Otherwise we would end up getting different results whether we use @Inject or @EJB to inject a Horse.
