[webbeans-dev] May we ditch the ScopeType annotation?

[Mark Struberg]

After rereading the spec I noticed that the @ScopeType annotation has gone already *blush*

Still the question remains why we need a @NormalScope annotation instead of letting the Context know about it's capabilities.


Currently scopes with @Scope are automatically always pseudo scopes, without having the chance to change this.
