so you mean by testing the classloader from one class to the other? this is broken in OSGi where you often use proxy in create() but not in getBeanClass to allow this to work

so you bean testing the classloader always? this is broken in OSGi where you often use proxy in create() but not in getBeanClass to allow this to work

> currently Bean#getBeanClass() is defined to return the class of the bean it produces but has one important exception: in case of a producer method or field it must return the class of the owner bean of this method or field.
> Imo this only causes troubles and doesn't add any benefit. 
> * At the time when 'using' the Bean (create and destroy) we always ONLY need the type which is to be created.
> * At the time we create interceptors we ONLY need the type which is to be created;
> * At the time we create the normalscoping proxies we ONLY need the type which is to be created;
> In fact the only time we need the ownerBean is when scanning the methods and fields in it. And for creating we really need the owner-Bean and not it's bean-class!
> In OWB we worked around this by having our own method getReturnType() which consistently returns the type which gets created.
