The following class is not a managed bean, for lack of a default
constructor:
public class NotABean {
public NotABean(int i) {}
}
But the class is a legal (albeit trivial) injection target.
When constructing an injection target for this class, OWB logs a
spurious message:
AnnotatedType<NotABean> annotatedType =
beanManager.createAnnotatedType(NotABean.class);
InjectionTarget<NotABean> injectionTarget =
beanManager.createInjectionTarget(annotatedType);

org.apache.webbeans.component.creation.AnnotatedTypeBeanCreatorImpl
defineConstructor
INFO: No suitable constructor found for injection target class : [class
org.ops4j.pax.exam.regression.cdi.ice.NotABean]. produce() method does
not work!
This is confusing for end users. Moreover, the implementation of
createInjectionTarget() has the following line
InjectionTargetBean<T> bean =
webBeansContext.getWebBeansUtil().defineManagedBean(type);
While the INFO message might be debatable, this looks plain wrong to me:
you are constructing a Bean<T> for a T which is not a managed bean.
The problem occured while using Wicket on TomEE [1].
Is this a TODO for OWB, or just a user misconception?
