Deprecated Annotation DeploymentType

[alexanderbell]

Hi,

in the NB the javax.enterprise.inject.deployment.DeploymentType Annotation is labeled as Deprecated. What should I use instead of DeploymentType?
How should the beans.xml look concerning deploy and type elements?

They are @Alternative nowadays (in the soonish-to-be-released latest spec)

enabling:

<beans>
  <alternatives>
    <class>org.mycompany.myfwk.InMemoryDatabase</class>
    <stereotype>org.mycompany.myfwk.Mock</stereotype>
    <stereotype>org.mycompany.site.Australian</stereotype>
  </alternatives>
</beans>

Ok, Alternative sound better than DeploymentType.
Does Alternative work in the same way like DeploymentType?

It's slightly simpler - there is no precedence involved.

In trunk it's called @Policy and <policies> but that will be fixed for the PFD2 release.
