Marko Lukša created CDI-398:
-------------------------------

             Summary: Clarify that an array with a variable component type or parameterized component type containing wildcards is not a valid bean type
                 Key: CDI-398
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-398
             Project: CDI Specification Issues
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Beans
    Affects Versions: 1.1.PFD
            Reporter: Marko Lukša


Section 2.2.1 says:
{quote}
Almost any Java type may be a bean type of a bean:
• A bean type may be an array type.
{quote}

and:
{quote}
A type variable is not a legal bean type. A parameterized type that contains a wildcard type parameter is not a legal bean type.
{quote}

This should be clarified that array types that have a type variable or a parameterized type that contains a wildcard type parameter as the array's component type are also not legal bean types. 

Also, all other sections that mention type variables/wildcards should also be reviewed and, if necessary, updated to also specifically mention array types with these kinds of component types.
