[weld-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (WELD-1023) Fail-fast when an <alternative> declaration in beans.xml is unused

[Geoffrey De Smet (Commented) (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WELD-1023?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12651478#comment-12651478 ] 

Geoffrey De Smet commented on WELD-1023:
----------------------------------------

@Jozef: Unused means that it is not injected anywhere.
Basically, I was doing <alternatives> configuration in the wrong beans.xml
and because it didn't fail-fast is mistakenly supposed the alternative was activated, while it was not.

Feel free to resolve this issue as won't fix if you believe it's too far fetched.

PS: I 've replaced my @Alternative usage with @Specializes (which doesn't suffer from CDI-18) and that works like a charm.

> I have this in my beans.xml:
>   <alternatives>
>     <class>org.drools.guvnor.server.repository.TestRepositoryStartupService</class>
>   </alternatives>
> The class exists, but because of whatever reason (CDI-18 in this case), it's not used.
> Yet, everything starts up happily and I think I am using my alternative (while I am not).
