-------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: CDITCK-205
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDITCK-205
             Project: CDI TCK
          Issue Type: Feature Request
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: Tests
    Affects Versions: 1.0.4.Final
            Reporter: Dan Allen
            Priority: Minor


Add a test to answers this question:

Does an extension have to be in an bean archive in order to be loaded?

Section 11.5 states:

"An extension is a service provider of the service javax.enterprise.inject.spi.Extension declared in META-INF/services."

If one assumes that "service provider" refers to the term defined in the jar specification [1], then one would conclude that an extension does not have to be in a bean archive to be recognized (these are orthogonal concerns).

A test for this scenario is available in the OpenTCK project and may be ported to the CDI TCK. [2]
