Mark Struberg created CDI-517:
---------------------------------

             Summary: assignability to parameterized required type
                 Key: CDI-517
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-517
             Project: CDI Specification Issues
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Resolution
    Affects Versions: 1.2.Final, 1.1.PFD
            Reporter: Mark Struberg


2 days before the CDI-1.1 spec went PDF the following backward-incomatible change was made:

{quote}
-A raw bean type is considered assignable to a parameterized required type if the raw types are identical.

+ A raw bean type is considered assignable to a parameterized required type if the raw types are identical and all type parameters of the bean type are either unbounded type variables or java.lang.Object.
{quote} 

This breaks a lot of projects and also is also not compatible with the JavaEE6 RI and the CDI-1.0 RI where this was explicitly allowed.


This is a follow up to CDI-304.
