[webbeans-dev] @NormalScope and @Singleton

[Mark Struberg]

Hi!

I'm a bit confused about the description of the pseudo scopes in the latest spec (but it's really late here, so I might missed the point)

a) ch 6.3: 
> Any scope that is not a normal scope is called a pseudo-scope. 
  -> @Singleton  [1] is per se only @Scope but not @NormalScope, 
> The concept of a current instance is not well-defined in the case of a pseudo-scope.
  -> but instances of @Singleton are pretty well defined, isn't?

Maybe we should introduce @Passivating and @PseudoScope instead of @NormalScope and invert the logic?

b) ch 6.3
> All pseudo-scopes must be explicitly declared @NormalScope, 
> to indicate to the container that no client proxy is required.
vs ch 5.5
> A contextual reference to a bean with a normal scope ...
> ..not a direct reference... 
> Instead, the contextual reference is a client proxy object.

I'd say pseudo scopes must _not_ declare @NormalScope?

txs and LieGrue,
