[weld-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (WELD-711) Calling Contextual.destroy on an instance still references an instance on BeanManager

[Stuart Douglas (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/browse/WELD-711?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12563456#comment-12563456 ] 

Stuart Douglas commented on WELD-711:
-------------------------------------

This issue is due to the use of AnnotationLiterals as anonymous inner classes. The annotations are cached as part of welds resolution process, but because they are non static inner classes they hold a reference to the outer class, which will never get released.

> Using the seam-faces module @ViewScoped extension, when the object is destroyed by Contextual.destroy, weld still references an instance, avoiding being garbage-collected.
> Pseudo Code: 
> 	Contextual contextual = ...
> 	Object instance = ...
>         CreationalContext creational = ...
> 	contextual.destroy(instance, creational);
