             Summary: add a bean-discovery-mode 'detected'
                 Key: CDI-420
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-420
             Project: CDI Specification Issues
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Packaging and Deployment
    Affects Versions: TBD
            Reporter: Mark Struberg


This is for some future CDI release.

We currently only have 3 bean-discovery-modes
* none
* all
* annotated

The spec also currently says that ProcessAnnotatedType will only get fired (12.4) for 
• each Java class, interface or enum deployed in an explicit bean archive, and 
• each Java class with a bean defining annotation in an implicit bean archive. 
• each session bean

Which means that we do not get the ProcessAnnotatedType event for any class in an 'annotated' or 'implicit' BDA which does _not_ have a bean defining annotation. 

It might be useful to fire the ProcessAnnotatedType for all classes, but do not pick them up as Beans if the (after PAT) do not have a valid scope. Effectively doing the processing but not make them @Dependent automatically if there is no scope annotation at the end of the processing.

I'm not yet 100% sure how important this distinction is in practice. Just writing this up to not forget about the idea...
