[webbeans-dev] Deployment time

[Pete Muir]

There may be some small inconsistencies here: Section 11.1 says that  
DefinitionExceptions are raised before @Initialized, and  
DeploymentExceptions are raised after @Initialized. The spec also  
talks about "an exception is raised at deployment time if..." (e.g.  
2.2 "If the type of an injection point is a parameterized type with a  
type variable or wildcard, a DefinitionException is thrown by the  
container at deployment time."). Sometimes (like above) it makes sense  
to do this as a bean validation (i.e. for 3rd party beans too), which  
means that the exception will be thrown after @Initialized.

To make this clearer, I think that two phases should be identified -  
bean definition time, and bean deployment time, the exceptional cases  
tied to the correct one through the spec and the 11.1 statement  
modified accordingly.
