[cdi-dev] DefinitionException vs DeploymentException

[Jozef Hartinger]

If a given scenario is well defined in the specification such as this one:

"If a managed bean which declares a passivating scope is not passivation 
capable then the container automatically detects the problem and treats 
it as a deployment problem."

then the RI should be firing DeploymentException and the TCK should 
require DeploymentException. If this does not happen then it is a bug. 
Please file an issue for each such bug you find.
