Alexander Larsen commented on OWB-1416:
---------------------------------------
This is what i think might be the misinterpretation of the spec. I can not see
any places where it says the proxied interface must be a subclass of the impl,
i actually think the spec indicates the opposite(although vaugely) as I tried
to describe in the ticket description. But I have only read the spec, not
looked at the TCK.
I've seen some old mailing list conversations about this problem, which refers
to this part of the spec
{quote}
A bean type must be proxyable if an injection point resolves to a bean:
- that requires a client proxy, or
- that has an associated decorator, or
- that has a bound interceptor.
Otherwise, the container automatically detects the problem, and treats it as a
deployment problem.

the part that is missed here is the bean type *injected* must be proxyable, not
all types of the bean.
Isn't the point of having an type argument on {{BeanManager.getReference}} is
to indicate what the proxy must implement?

> OWB seems to throw an exception for all unproxyable normal scoped beans. I
> think that this might be incorrect.
> The
> [specification|https://docs.jboss.org/cdi/spec/2.0/cdi-spec.html#unproxyable]
> says the "A bean type must be proxyable if an injection point resolves to a
> bean", not that all the types of the bean must be proxyable. In other words,
> as long as the bean is a legal bean, and all injection point resolving to
> this bean is a proxyable type - no exception should be thrown.
> In the part about [contextual
> references|https://docs.jboss.org/cdi/spec/2.0/cdi-spec.html#contextual_reference],
> there is further indications that unproxyable types should be allowed in the
> set of types for the bean. It's only when you try to get a reference(injected
> or by bean manager) to an unproxyable type, and the bean must be proxied
> (normal scoped, intercepted or decorated) an exception should thrown.
> Also, the [Weld user guide suggests introducing an interface as a solution to
> having an unproxyable
> bean|https://docs.jboss.org/weld/reference/latest/en-US/html_single/#_client_proxies].
> The current OWB implementation makes a pattern of having an interface and
> (one or more) implementation class with final fields/methods somewhat
> difficult :)
