[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-377) automatic JSR-330 annotation processing problematic

     [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-377?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Reuben Pasquini reopened CDI-377:
---------------------------------

Reopening.  Colin Decker described the problem well. 

  o. CDI-1.0 -- META-INF/beans.xml indicates "scan this jar"
  o. CDI-1.1 -- no META-INF/beans.xml indicates "scan this jar"

A library like guava that has some JSR-330 annotated classes
suitable for javase IOC containers like guice, spring, and dagger; but
not suitable for CDI (which eagerly allocates singletons) is caught in 
a catch 22.

>          Components: Java EE integration
>    Affects Versions: 1.1.PFD
>         Environment: glassfish-4
>            Reporter: Reuben Pasquini

> The jsr-330 dependency injection annotations (javax.inject.*) find use in javase environments using IOC packages like guice.
> Adding a dependency on a jar that uses guice or whatever in a javase environment
> to a war deployed to a jee7 container 
> results in CDI processing annotated classes intended for 
> app-managed injection.  See this ticket filed with guava for a concrete example:
>     https://code.google.com/p/guava-libraries/issues/detail?id=1433
