I finally tracked the issue to the fact that the bean my producer method was responsible for producing only had a default no-arg constructor. I was able to "work around" this problem by annotating the bean as an @Alternative. So I have a few questions.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1420209722920_5060" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1420209722920_5061" dir="ltr">(1)</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1420209722920_5062" dir="ltr">Is this expected behavior from CDI? If a bean only has the default no-arg constructor should you get an ambiguous error if you also have a producer method for the bean?</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1420209722920_5063" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1420209722920_5065" dir="ltr">(2)</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1420209722920_5067" dir="ltr">Is annotating the bean as an @Alternative an acceptable "work around"?
