[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-671) SPI element related to Instance are missing info about their qualifier

[Martin Kouba (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-671?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13339429#comment-13339429 ] 

Martin Kouba commented on CDI-671:
----------------------------------

bq. I think John only meant to say that the spec does not mention that you cannot @Inject CDI<Object>. 

It does not say you can ;-). I.e. there is no built-in bean with {{javax.enterprise.inject.spi.CDI}} in its set of bean types or other wording which would imply this.

bq.  I don't really see any harm in not specifying this. It has been like that since 1.2 and apparently it caused no harm.

Note that in CDI 1.2 there was only {{javax.enterprise.inject.spi.CDI}}, in 2.0 we have two more use cases ({{SeContainer}}, {{BeanManager.createInstance()}}). So the probability that a user will run into incompatibilitites is much higher.

> Following elements are related to {{Instance}} interface:
> * {{CDI}} class implements {{Instance}} 
> * {{SeContainer}} extends {{Instance}}
> * {{BeanManager.createInstance()}} returns and {{Instance}} object
> If these {{Instance}} usage are all {{Instance<Object>}} there's no information regarding their qualifier.
> We should state in Javadoc and spec that these Instance behaves like an injected instance with  {{@Inject @Any Instance<Object>}} to allow access to all beans instance in the container.
