Meaning of bean discovery mode annotated in CDI 1.1

by

When using bean-discovery-mode="annotated" only classes with a bean defining annotation are discovered. All other classes are ignored. Any scope type is a bean defining annotation. If a scope type is declared on a bean class, then the bean class is said to have a bean defining annotation [spec]. The 1.1 spec is not completely clear here. Only classes with a @NormalScope scope or @Dependent pseudo scope are discovered, @javax.inject.Singleton and all other @Scope (pseudo) scopes are ignored.

Note that the definition of a “bean defining annotation” changed in CDI 1.2 and is now very well defined:

The set of bean defining annotations contains:

  • @ApplicationScoped, @SessionScoped, @ConversationScoped and @RequestScoped annotations,
  • all other normal scope types,
  • @Interceptor and @Decorator annotations,
  • all stereotype annotations (i.e. annotations annotated with @Stereotype),
    and the @Dependent scope annotation.
