Question about the CDI declaration.

[ben.dol]

Hi, I have a quick question about the CDI scope declarations. If I declare an AbstractClass @Dependent and use this class as a base class, will the inheriting class be defined as dependent?

Thanks!

Hi Ben,

Sorry for the delayed response. In theory that should work as scopes are @Inherited, but I don't think we have a test case for this so I'm not sure if it works as expected in Errai. That being said, all beans are @Dependent when no explicit scope exists so it might not be necessary for you to mark your abstract base class as dependent if you are not dynamically looking up its subtypes.
