Emily Jiang commented on CDI-527:
---------------------------------


>>I have never had an issue with java.* or javax.* being Unproxyable so far.
I know a customer has hit this problem after moving up to Java8.

Some customers use third party libraries and they don't have source code, so they cannot easily update the code. We can easily say "go to the open source community....". The reality is that it takes time and the customers' applications are not functioning and they cannot operate their business. 

Someone somehow has to offer help. I think we can address this problem with some careful design.

> Currently we explicitly disallow proxying of classes with non-private final methods. 
> EJB _does_ allow this. And there are a few final methods in the JDK and other libs. E.g. HashMap#initHashSeedAsNeeded. Currently we cannot have a producer method for it.
> We might rethink our decision and allow it. Probably with an own annotation like @AllowProxying which disables this check for certain cases (subclass managed-beans or producers).
