[hibernate-dev] ManagedBeanRegistry - dependency injection support

[Yoann Rodiere]

Same here, compositions don't seem to be a reasonable use case. And even if
users provide a custom bean registry, they could just implement their
specific behavior for a few specific case, then retrieve another
implementations on their own and delegate to it however they want.
Overriding the service initiator looks like a very reasonable way to do
that.

Regarding the package, "org.hibernate.resource.beans" seems more
appropriate to me, since CDI is not the only implementation we will get and
we know it. Also, if I wanted to nitpick, injection is not really something
the bean registry must provide. We could imagine a bean registry without
any support for injection, after all, just providing "monolithic beans". It
would still make sense with respect to your ManagedBeanRegistry API.
