[seam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (SOLDER-47) Cannot use Solder in Glassfish 3.1

Dan Allen commented on SOLDER-47:
---------------------------------

There's an important detail left out in the explanation here. Seam Solder registers it's own beans manually using the BeanManager#addAnnotatedType() API. See ELExtension [1] for an example. That's one reason why it doesn't require a beans.xml. This is the spec way of registering classes from third-party libraries as beans.

Also, the reason beans.xml isn't require in an extension library is because extensions are loaded as META-INF/services, which makes no mention (nor has no prerequisite) on a beans.xml file. This is a standard part of Java 6 (which can be provided for Java 5 by a spec implementation, as Weld does).

> Please see http://java.net/jira/browse/GLASSFISH-14808 for additional information I communicated to Siva.
> Siva has closed this bug saying it's not a bug because weld-extensions.jar doesn't have a beans.xml file, which isn't valid, it doesn't need one.  You can see the exceptions I've been fighting trying to get my catch jaxrs example running in glassfish 3.1
