Incorrect check of bean type when obtaining contextual reference via BeanManager#getReference()
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: WELD-991
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WELD-991
             Project: Weld
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.1.2.Final
            Reporter: Martin Kouba


CDI 1.0 section "11.3.1 Obtaining a contextual reference for a bean" states:
"If the given type is not a bean type of the given bean, an IllegalArgumentException is thrown."

However no such exception is thrown. Refer to CDI TCK test [1].

After inspecting the source code I suppose the problem is probably related to following part of *org.jboss.weld.manager.BeanManagerImpl.getReference(Bean<?>, Type, CreationalContext<?>)*:
{code}
if (!Reflections.isAssignableFrom(bean.getTypes(), beanType))
{
 throw new IllegalArgumentException(SPECIFIED_TYPE_NOT_BEAN_TYPE, beanType, bean );
}
{code}

All beans have the bean type *java.lang.Object* (2.2. Bean types) - since java.lang.Object is assignable from any class *Reflections.isAssignableFrom(bean.getTypes(), beanType)* will always return true.
