[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-129) Clarify behaviour of @ApplicationScoped in EARs

[Pete Muir (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-129?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12727271#comment-12727271 ] 

Pete Muir commented on CDI-129:
-------------------------------

{quote}{quote}There may be places where we don't use the terminology as precisely as we should, but I think Chapter EE.8 of the platform spec makes it clear that an ear file is a single Java EE application.{quote}
EAR -> EE application ok, but is the other direction true as well?
application -> EAR?
Imo not, because the term application is also clearly used for webapps too in the EE umbrella spec.
{quote}

This was in answer to the question "What is the definition of "application" in Java EE?" so I would think that this was just the way Bill expressed himself, rather than carrying your inference. However I'm happy to double check if you want?

> 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.
