             Summary: Observers in CDI extensions can see classes they should not be able to
                 Key: CDI-702
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-702
             Project: CDI Specification Issues
          Issue Type: Clarification
          Components: Portable Extensions
    Affects Versions: 2.0 .Final, 1.1.Final, 1.2.Final
            Reporter: Emily Jiang
            Priority: Critical


We observe a undesired behavior on Weld,  which is during CDI bootstrap, all classes from both the EAR lib folder and all WAR lib folders are available to CDI extensions in the EAR lib folder as well as to CDI extensions in all WAR lib folders. Basically, the extension class can see everything in an .ear regardless where the extension class resides. It completely ignores classloading hierarchy.

This kind of contradicts with the classloading rules, where separate .war archives packaged under the same .ear should not be able to see each other's class by default, unless they both use the same classloader.

We discussed with Weld dev team (Martin, Thomas, Matej) and Anotine. The feedback is that CDI spec is unclear on the "observer resolution". I would like to relaunch the discussion to make this clarified and fixed. Please comment.
