Hi Marina,
Won't allowing final methods will cause an inconsistency with the CDI
spec? CDI 1.0 section 5.4.1 says:
Certain legal bean types cannot be proxied by the container:
[...]
classes which are declared final or have final methods,
And I believe this is true in CDI 1.1, but I don't have that spec handy.

Subject: [jsr345-experts] Re: Final methods in a bean class?
After a longer discussion with Mark offline and not to allow users to
shoot themselves into a foot, the new proposal is to change both
statements as follow:
(a) "All non-static public methods of the bean class and of any
superclasses except the java.lang.Object, are exposed as business
methods."
(b) "Business methods exposed through the no-interface view must not be
declared final."
Let me know if anybody disagrees.
thanks,
