[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-533) Bean Deployment archive conflicts between section 5 and section 12

[Mark Struberg (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-533?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13073496#comment-13073496 ] 

Mark Struberg commented on CDI-533:
-----------------------------------

Of course you _can_ interpret it that way. But there is the other option as well. And your interpretation is a.) not historically sound and b.) not what the users really want. Just go over to the DeltaSpike list and ask the question what behaviour they like most. In OpenWebBeans we interpreted it as Section 5 wide ever since. Any no user ever complained. 

As you know I do quite a lot conference talks. And I asked the question whether they like it per jar or app wide. And there was literally no single hand for the per-jar but the whole room for the application wide behaviour. And I asked this on quite a few occasions in front of a few thousand people till now! This is the no 1 most hated thing in CDI (which people otherwise really love ever since).

> In CDI1.2 spec, the definition for bean archive are conflicting between section 5 and section 12;
> In section 5, 
> Beans and their clients may be deployed in modules in a module architecture such as the Java EE environment. In a module architecture, certain modules are considered bean archives. In the Java EE module architecture, any Java EE module or library is a module. The Java EE module or library is a bean archive if it contains a beans.xml file. 
> This section talks about the bean deployment on the module or library level. It indicates one web module (may contain web-inf\lib etc) is a single bean archive. The smallest unit is a module or a lib.
> While in section 12:
> When determining which archives are bean archives, the container must consider:
> • Library jars, EJB jars or application client jars
> • The WEB-INF/classes directory of a war
> • Directories in the JVM classpath
> It indicates each jar should be a bean archive. The smallest unit is a jar.
> I started this conversation with Mark, Jozef, Antoine, Romain. The correct implementation is section 12. So section 5 needs to be reworked.
> All conversation is on the cdi-dev mailing list.
