    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-157?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12718739#comment-12718739 ] 

Mark Struberg commented on CDI-157:
-----------------------------------

Proposal:

# Add a way to register Extensions via beans.xml, e.g <extensions><class enabled="true" ordinal="17">...
# Treat any Extension registered via META-INF/services/... as registered with enabled="true" and an ordinal="1"

That would allow users to just define another beans.xml with a highter ordinal where he can disable the Extension. 

Containers must pickup all Extensions registered via META-INF/Services plus all Extensions registered via beans.xml. For each Extension class only the entry with the highest ordinal counts. In case this evaluates to enabled="true" the CDI Container shall instantiate and enable the Extension, otherwise it shall get skipped.

> Typically an extension class is packaged in a jar, along with a META-INF/services/javax.enterprise.inject.spi.Extension file which enables it. However, this means that an application, or another extension, has no way of disabling extensions.
