[cdi-dev] Clarification of Any qualifier

[Martin Kouba]

Hi John,

I believe the spec (2.3.1. Built-in qualifier types) only deals with 
built-in kinds of beans here. In other words, an author of a custom 
implementation of Bean is responsible for providing the complete set of 
qualifiers (i.e. adding @Any).

Weld also does not add @Any to a custom bean automatically. The 
difference is in CDI.current() qualifiers, see also 
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-671?focusedCommentId=13339043&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-13339043.
