[Mark Struberg (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-280?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12951325#comment-12951325 ] 

Mark Struberg commented on CDI-280:
-----------------------------------

The terms used and defined in CDI 1.0 shall not be changed imo.

Bean Class:  that's ok and the same as you meant.
Contextual Instance: The 'singleton' instance  created by the Bean#create() and stored in the Context
Contextual Reference: The NormalScope proxy for the Contextual Reference. Not to confuse with the interceptor/decorator proxy which may also exist for non-normalscoped beans.
I don't fully agree with Martin regarding 'required type'. This only covers the java.lang.reflect.Type aspect imo but does not cover the qualifiers, right? Or does it?
