[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-15) Relax @Target annotation for CDI Scopes and Qualifiers

[Jozef Hartinger (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-15?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12719416#comment-12719416 ] 

Jozef Hartinger commented on CDI-15:
------------------------------------

Also, the spec currently contradicts itself when it says:

{quote}
A qualifier type is a Java annotation defined as @Target(\{METHOD, FIELD, PARAMETER, TYPE\}) and @Retention(RUNTIME).
{quote}

and then uses 
{code:JAVA}
@Qualifier
@Target(PARAMETER)
@Retention(RUNTIME)
public @interface Role {
String value();
}
{code}

in 10.2.2 of CDI 1.0

> In some cases it may make sense to apply a scope or qualifier in a place that was not envisaged by the spec but that would be useful for a portable extension. 
> For example, the @Constructs extension described at
> http://www.seamframework.org/Weld/PortableExtensionsPackage#H-BeanDeclarationAtConstructorLevel
> is not possible because scopes and qualifiers can not be placed on constructors
