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

[Jozef Hartinger (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-129?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12727532#comment-12727532 ] 

Jozef Hartinger commented on CDI-129:
-------------------------------------

{quote} No of course not! At least not in my model {quote}

OK, let's assume then that we took the approach 3) you proposed above (@ApplicationScoped per war) which claims to fix the issue. If the web app in my example above introduces a class

{code:JAVA}
@RequestScoped
@Specializes
public class S extends R {
}
{code}

The Servlet would arguably operate on an instance of S. Assuming the servlet invokes the shared mail service, instance of which class would MailService operate on?

a) R, which means that the problem is not fixed and you are wrong (@ApplicationScoped per war does not change anything)
b) S, however S is not accessible from the MailService so this is wrong

>From there we can see that @ApplicationScoped is per war has no impact on the "issue" that which you described as "user no-go".

> 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.
