Correct way to inject BeanManager into portable extension?

[ljnelson]

Hello.  I am attempting to write a portable extension.  I have it so that the container (Glassfish 3.1b09) identifies my extension and loads it properly.  However, I cannot seem to inject a BeanManager into my extension for programmatic use.

I have tried this:

@Inject
private BeanManager beanManager;

...and this:

@Inject
public void afterDeploymentValidation(@Observes AfterDeploymentValidation event, BeanManager beanManager) {
  //...
}

...but neither worked.  In the first case, the BeanManager is simply not injected.  In the second case, I get the following exception on deployment:

WELD-000408 org.jboss.weld.event-ObserverMethod-com.foobar.MyPortableExtension.method afterDeploymentValidation(javax.enterprise.inject.spi.AfterDeploymentValidation, javax.enterprise.inject.spi.BeanManager) cannot be annotated with @Initializer

Is this pilot error or a bug in Glassfish's Weld integration?

Thanks,

Laird

Somewhat counterintuitively, @Inject is not needed.  So merely magically adding BeanManager as the second parameter to the afterDeploymentValidation method did the trick.  I heart magic.  :-)

Best,

Observer methods are automatically injection points - this is a v poor error message!
