[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (WFLY-11858) [Wildfly16] CDI fails to inject InitialContext during startup

[Laird Nelson (Jira)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-11858?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13711156#comment-13711156 ] 

Laird Nelson commented on WFLY-11858:
-------------------------------------

My guess (I don't really know, as I'm not up on the sophisticated classloading involved in .ear files here) is that any solution that allows the {{InitialContext}} to be created at the point that the {{lookup}} call is made will work.  So it would seem that in general it is not OK to have a single instance of {{InitialContext}} floating around, i.e. I believe that the scope of the {{AbstractBean<InitialContext>}} subclass should be {{Dependent}}, not {{Singleton}}.  I've updated this in my other (approved so far) [PR|https://github.com/jbosstm/narayana/pull/1403].

Making the {{JNDIBean}} "use directly the initial context with {{new InitialContext().lookup(this.name)}}" is exactly the same as placing the {{AbstractBean<InitialContext>}} in {{Dependent}} scope.  I personally prefer going through the bean here as it allows user-supplied {{InitialContext}} bean implementations.

> We are in the process of upgrading from 14.0.1.Final. While Wildfly 15.0.1 works fine, 16.0.0.Final is intermittently (3 out of 5 times) failing to start with following error
> _WELD-001334: Unsatisfied dependencies for type InitialContext with qualifiers_
> In our application, a bootstrap servlet startsup services (Stateless EJBs) during server startup. During this process the server fails to start with above error.
> Basically CDI is not able to find the appropriate InitialContext bean *intermittently*. This is not failing in our application code but in the wildfly libraries itself.
> Any pointers on this will be helpful. Don't want to end up with startup issues in stage/production :)
> Unfortunately my efforts to come up with a simplified maven module to showcase the error didn't succeed. So, please let me know if any further information is required and i will be glad to fill it in.
