             Summary: Injection point declared as transient is not useful
                 Key: CDI-616
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-616
             Project: CDI Specification Issues
          Issue Type: Clarification
          Components: Concepts
    Affects Versions: 1.2.Final
         Environment: n/a
            Reporter: Emily Jiang
            Priority: Minor


An injection point declared as 'transient' is not useful, due to the fact of after bean's passivation, the transient field will not be reinjected and its value will be lost. This causes confusion. See Weld forum discussion [link title|https://developer.jboss.org/thread/179486]. In the section 5.5.7, how about to make the following changes?

The isTransient() method returns true if the injection point is a transient field, and
false otherwise. If the injection point represents a dynamically obtained instance then the
isTransient() method returns true if the Instance injection point is a transient field, and
false otherwise.

=>
The isTransient() method returns true if the injection point is a transient field, and
false otherwise. If the injection point represents a dynamically obtained instance then the
isTransient() method returns true if the Instance injection point is a transient field, and
false otherwise. If this injection point is declared as transient, after bean's passivation, the value will not be restored. Instance injection point is the preferred approach.

Any other better suggestions?
