Marcel, can you please ask this in the Weld user forum here http://seamframework.org/Community/WeldUsersForum? Weld developers hang out there.

I'm certainly not one of those, so consider it my two cents:

I'm wondering when (and by whom) this class is instantiated:

package nl.meandi.examples;

import java.io.IOException;

import javax.inject.Inject;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

public class TestServlet extends HttpServlet {
     private static final long serialVersionUID = -2831626634018329617L;

     @Inject
     RequestScopedBean requestScopedBean;

     @Override
     protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp)
               throws ServletException, IOException {
          if (requestScopedBean == null) {
               resp.setContentType("text/plain");
               resp.getWriter().print("NOT_OK");
               resp.flushBuffer();
          } else {
               resp.setContentType("text/plain");
               resp.getWriter().print("OK");
               resp.flushBuffer();
          }
     }
}

The question I'm trying to raise: Is TestServlet a managed bean / contextual component in both cases?

Looking forward to learn about the answer,

Jan
