[weld-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (WELD-778) Weld must be able to support extension discovery in the modules of an multi-module application (EAR)

[Marius Bogoevici (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WELD-778?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12596845#comment-12596845 ] 

Marius Bogoevici commented on WELD-778:
---------------------------------------

A few points to consider when investigating this issue:

1. Extensions are loaded via org.jboss.weld.bootstrap.WeldBootstrap#loadExtensions(Classloader), so an integrator would have to call this multiple times, making sure that extensions are not duplicated (i.e. extensions visible to both a module and submodule CL are processed only once)

2. org.jboss.weld.bootstrap.ExtensionBeanDeployer#deployBeans() is using the Container ClassTransformer - again, extensions in sub-modules will not be visible

Generally speaking, the extension processing model is taking place at deployment level, but could allow for more granular processing.
