CDI alternative stereotype don't work properly with JBoss 7.1.1.

[ievgen]

Hi everyone,

I want to apply alternative stereotype, but cant make it work. I have 2 implementation of interface:

@Stateless

@AlternativeStereotype

public class ItemExtensionServiceBean implements ItemService {

and

@Stateless

public class ItemServiceBean implements ItemService {

alternative stereotype annotation:

@Alternative

@Stereotype

@Retention(RUNTIME)

@Target({ TYPE, METHOD, FIELD })

public @interface AlternativeStereotype {

beans.xml:

<alternatives>

        <stereotype>org.jboss.as.quickstarts.cdi.annotation.AlternativeStereotype</stereotype>

</alternatives>

and JSF bean where I inject ItemService interface.

@Named("itemBean")

@RequestScoped

public class ItemBean {

    @Inject

    private ItemService itemService;

But after deploy aletrnative implementation ItemExtensionServiceBean is not used.

Tutorial http://docs.jboss.org/weld/reference/1.1.0.Final/en-US/html/stereotypes.html says it supposed to work.

1. Is it supopsed to work?

2. How can I make it work?

I have a simple reproducer on github: https://github.com/ishulga/cdi

Thanks,

Ievgen.

Have you tried upgrading Weld to the latest version (1.1.11)?

I'm using cdi-api provided by JBoss 7.1.1.

That's what I thought and was the reason I asked .  Try upgrading. There have been many bugfixes in Weld since AS7.1.1 was released.  You'll find instructions on how to upgrade in multiple places in this forum.

Marko, you are right, JBoss 7.1.1 uses Weld 1.1.05. And it doesn't work correctly, I upgraded Weld and now it works fine. Beside, it works fine on Jboss-eap-6.0.1 also.

Thanks.
