Sure, no interceptor/decorators, but the injection point -is- there of
course. I can see it being set in OWB as a special property on the
creational context if I walk down the stack trace in a debugger when
my Bean#create method is being called. An injection point is something
that implementations of Bean could always need, for instance to
retrieve the name of the field into which injection is taking place.

Of course, it being a "you know what you do", it's okay that it's not
as simple as having it injected into the Bean, and that some extra
code is needed to obtain it. As long as there is at least -a- way to
get hold of it.

The method I posted in the openings post does in fact work, but it
feels slightly hacky. If that's an acceptable way to get the injection
point, then so be it. But just wondering if it's not something that
works by chance and may break later.

Kind regards,
Arjan
