             Summary: Nested classes except for static nested classes should not be managed beans
                 Key: CDI-508
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-508
             Project: CDI Specification Issues
          Issue Type: Clarification
    Affects Versions: 1.2.Final
            Reporter: Martin Kouba


The spec should explicitly state that all nested classes (inner, anonymous, local) except for static nested classes are not managed beans.

*3.1.1. Which Java classes are managed beans?* is confusing:
{quote}
A *top-level* Java class is a managed bean if it is defined to be a managed bean by any other Java EE specification, or if it meets all of the following conditions:
* It is not a *non-static inner class*.
{quote} 

# a *top-level* Java class is never nested
# term *non-static inner class* is inaccurate, static nested classes are not inner
