Martin Kouba commented on OWB-1209:
-----------------------------------
bq. If someone adds an Alternative Bean via an Extension then it's assumed that
is is active for this Module.
This is the "feature" I'm questioning in this issue. If you add a custom bean
with {{isAlternative()=true}} it should behave like if there is a bean class
annotated with {{@Alternative}}. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to add a
custom bean which is only enabled when needed.
Again, check 5.1.1.2 Declaring selected alternatives for a bean archive. In
case of OWB, the bean archive is the module. Still, the container should call
{{isAlternative()}}, {{getBeanClass()}} ,etc.
> Custom bean with isAlternative()=true should not be automatically enabled

> It seems that if you register a custom bean where {{isAlternative()}} returns
> true, the bean is automatically enabled. However, the container should use
> {{getBeanClass()}}, see also "Declaring selected alternatives for a bean
> archive":
> {quote}
> For a custom implementation of the Bean interface defined in The Bean
> interface, the container calls isAlternative() to determine whether the bean
> is an alternative, and getBeanClass() and getStereotypes() to determine
> whether an alternative is selected in a certain bean archive.
> {quote}
> Moreover, if I specify the bean class of a custom bean in the {{beans.xml}} I
> get :
> {noformat}
> Given alternative class : org.jboss.cdi.builtinbeans.IntegerEventBean is not
> annotated wih @Alternative or not an enabled bean
> {noformat}
> To reproduce, checkout https://github.com/mkouba/alternative-builtin-beans
> and modify
> https://github.com/mkouba/alternative-builtin-beans/blob/master/src/test/java/org/jboss/cdi/builtinbeans/BeansXml.java#L25
> to always return beans.xml with enablement. Then run:
> {noformat}
> mvn clean test -DcdiImpl=owb1
> {noformat}
