public class NonCDIBean extends BeanManagerAware {
public void doSomething() {
BeanManager beanManager = getBeanManager();
...
}
}
vs
public class NonCDIBean {
public void doSomething() {
BeanManager beanManager = BeanManagerLocator.getBeanManager();
}
}
Keep in mind, these non-CDI beans are not in the end developers code, this
is internal extension stuff, for example the SystemEventListener and
PhaseListener implementations for CDI event bridging.
As for the locator, we are currently refining the strategy and will submit a
formal proposal for review in a separate thread.
