[Mark Struberg (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WELD-778?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12597944#comment-12597944 ] 

Mark Struberg commented on WELD-778:
------------------------------------

> IMO this was an error in CDI
I actually don't believe this was erroneous - in fact all the other etablishec @ApplicationScoped annotations (Spring, JSF, etc) always mean the WebApplication. For 'enterprise application' wide singletons, those frameworks rely on EJBs. And imo that was also the original take of WebBeans as I saw it back in early 2008. 

So rather than re-defining @ApplicationScoped as not being WebApp centric (that would be a rather huge change in the spec!) I'd say we either introduce an own @EarScoped or just use the JSR-330 @Singleton annotation for it.

Currently doing my paperwork for the CDI EG, so we can talk over there.
