[Martin Kouba (JIRA)]

Martin Kouba commented on CDI-561:
----------------------------------

bq. Accessing the true class of the instance in a clean way...
Just note that the class of a contextual instance might not be the class one would expect because a contextual instance is an internal container construct (for example in Weld it might be a subclass).

> CDI implementations make heavy uses of proxies to support normal scope and interceptor decorators. There are use case where being able to have a bean instance without its proxy could be useful
> * Accessing the true class of the instance in a clean way
> * Being able to capture an instance state to use its information outside CDI or as an event payload
> The limitation we have  on Async event is probably a good example. As we don't propagate active normal context at firing time, it's not possible to inject a bean with such a scope (except {{@ApplicationScoped}} since Application context is shared), it could be useful to give the possibility to copy such a bean instance to a standard pojo instance so it could be used as event payload for instance.
> We could even imagine that the mechanism could be transparently activated if an asynchronous observer inject a {{@RequestScoped}} or {{@SessionScoped}} bean.
