Ok, good to know. But that means that all ACC implementations should
support it then ? As Pete said, looks like the JBoss one doesn't....

I found the mail I sent to the GlassFish forum a couple of years ago about
this topic (
http://www.java.net/forum/topic/glassfish/glassfish/using-cdi-acc-se-environment).
I'll be doing more test to make sure and fill a bug if needed.
