Mark Struberg commented on JBAS-8683:
-------------------------------------

Marius, I think the spec is at least ambiguous here, and contradicts your current implementation in a few points.

I think the terminus technicus 'container' is not well defined by the spec. At one point it is referring to the 'runtime container' at another point it says clearly: 11.3 "The container provides a built-in bean with bean type BeanManager" Which means (if I use the same 'only word based' interpretation strategy as you) that there is _exactly_one_ BeanManager per container. And here lies the problem! Because in another paragraph the spec says that we BeanManagers are _per_webapp_.

Going back to the original problem now, we could also interpret that the terminus technicus 'container' in the spec here means the BeanManager, so _one_per_webapp_ !

Btw, having extensions detected by the BeanManager (so: per webapp) is the only scenario which makes sense, because if the extensions are only available in (and for) the EAR libs then no classes in any webapps WEB-INF/classes could be accessed and the whole extension mechanism would be simply useless for EAR projects!

> A web application contains a CDI extension shipped within WEB-INF/lib. If this web application is packaged in an EAR, the extension will not be discovered and executed.
