[jira] [Commented] (OWB-619) @New beans must only exist if there is at least one injection point for them

["Arne Limburg (Commented) (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OWB-619?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13115305#comment-13115305 ] 

Arne Limburg commented on OWB-619:
----------------------------------

>From reading the spec you are right. But I am wondering, if this change would break existing code, since @New is a qualifier, it could be used in BeanManager.getBeans or Instance.select... which would change behavior (i.e. not return any bean) then.

Should we add a special handling for the @New qualifier in the injection resolver, too?

> Which means that we dont need to create a NewBean for each and every bean, but only for ones which gets used in an InjectionPoint somewhere!
> This can massively reduce the amount of needed beans and the mem consumption of OWB
