[cdi-dev] Can proxying be handled the way done in EJB?

[John D. Ament]

Not sure if we want to pollute the vote thread, so changing titles.

I think to summarize my feelings, think about the relationship between
interface Foo and implementation FooImpl.  Foo is defined:

interface Foo {
   String doWork();
}

FooImpl is defined as:

public class FooImpl implements Foo {
   public String doWork() { return "i'm done"; }

   public final String doSomethingElse() { return "something else"; }

}

The way CDI impls work right now, the proxy is created for the impl.  The
way EJBs proxy right now, they proxy the interface.  If CDI proxied both
the interface and impl separately, and substituted based on the injection
point, this would work.
