Hi All,
For a presentation, I was preparing a demo with a custom
IdentityStoreHandler.
But since the DefaultIdentityStoreHandler is registered as CDI bean within
the CdiExtension , there is an issue when we want to make a custom version
of it.
*Using @Specializes fails*
Because the extended class isn't marked as CDI bean.
*WELD-000047: Specializing bean must extend another bean: Managed Bean
[class be.c4j.security.CustomIdentityStoreHandler] with qualifiers [@Any
@Default]"}*
*It can't be just marked as CDI bean (@ApplicationScoped, ...)*
Because then there is an ambiguous definition (the default and the Custom
version)
*WELD-001409: Ambiguous dependencies for type IdentityStoreHandler with
qualifiers @Default*
So we should review the usage and definition of the IdentityStoreHandler so
that custom implementations are possible.
As I remember correctly, the usage of a CDI Extension to register beans, is
required when Soteria (or any framework using CDI) is defined as 'module'
on the server because these aren't scanned.
Best regards
Rudy
