How to solve Ambiguous dependencies in CDI?

[rmutha]

I am getting following error when i added produces which returns the injected member from same class.

org.jboss.weld.exceptions.DeploymentException: WELD-001409 Ambiguous dependencies for type [IUserHolder] with qualifiers [@Default] at injection point [[field] @Inject com.morpho.im.web.components.recordList.RecordListManager.userHolder]. Possible dependencies [[Managed Bean [class com.morpho.im.web.components.login.UserHolder] with qualifiers [@Any @Default @Named], Producer Method [IUserHolder] with qualifiers [@Any @Default] declared as [[method] @Produces public com.morpho.im.web.application.login.SecurityManager.getUserHolder()]]]

Any hints welcome to solve this issue !

Hi Roshan,

this is expected. You have a managed bean IUserHolder (a top-level Java class) and producer method for the same bean type and qualifiers (SecurityManager.getUserHolder()). There are several ways to solve this. One of which is to "disable" the managed bean with @Vetoed annotation. Read the spec and Weld docs to find the solution most suitable for your needs
