[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-45) Optional Injection Points

[Thorben Janssen (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-45?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12997563#comment-12997563 ] 

Thorben Janssen commented on CDI-45:
------------------------------------

{code}Instance<T> extends Iterable<T>{code} and therefore might contain more than one MyBean instances. It would not be possible to inject only one or no MyBean instances.

I like the Java8 Optional idea. It is similar to the existing Instance approach, avoids null checks and fits to the planned Java 8 enhancements.

> There are occoasions where it may be useful for some injection points to be optional, e.g.
> @Inject
> @Optional 
> MyBean bean; 
> This would behave the same as a normal injection point, however it will not cause the deployment to fail if it is not satisified.
