[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-420) add a bean-discovery-mode 'scoped'

[Martin Kouba (JIRA)]

Martin Kouba commented on CDI-420:
----------------------------------

[~struberg] So the only argument is "it's confusing for users"? Frankly speaking, any solution will be confusing for users. 

I proposed  a new solution because I don't think it's a good idea to introduce a new bean discovery mode which is almost identical to {{annotated}} (also the name {{scoped}} is definitely not accurate). Having a special tag is not elegant either.

So I've tried to propose an extensible solution which is more like a new feature. I did not have any other use cases in mind, although the {{<if-system-property>}} might be also useful. I agree that it's more verbose though.

> This is for some future CDI release.
> We currently only have 3 bean-discovery-modes
> * none
> * all
> * annotated
> The spec also currently says that ProcessAnnotatedType will only get fired (12.4) for 
> • each Java class, interface or enum deployed in an explicit bean archive, and 
> • each Java class with a bean defining annotation in an implicit bean archive. 
> • each session bean
> Which means that we do not get the ProcessAnnotatedType (PAT) event for any class in an 'annotated' or 'implicit' BDA which does _not_ have a bean defining annotation. 
> It might be useful to fire the ProcessAnnotatedType for all classes, but do not pick them up as Beans if they (after PAT) do not have a valid scope. Effectively doing the processing but not make them @Dependent automatically if there is no scope annotation at the end of the PAT processing.
> I'm not yet 100% sure how important this distinction is in practice. Just writing this up to not forget about the idea...
