             Summary: Expose singleContextMap and contextMap from BeanManagerImpl as API
                 Key: OWB-1120
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OWB-1120
             Project: OpenWebBeans
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core
    Affects Versions: 1.6.2
            Reporter: Shahim Essaid


My custom ContextsService needs to lookup contexts from the singleContextMap and contextMap from BeanManagerImpl. The current implementation doesn't allow this and it fully controls the order of context lookup:
1. Check the service.
2. Check singleContextMap
3. Check contextMap.

In my custom service I'm implementing a default context resolution strategy (that implements flat or nested contexts) and it can be configured to do the following:
1. Always use the built-in context resolution strategy.
2. Look in the CDI container for any provided strategies, and then use built-in if needed
3. Check for any Extension provided contexts and decide to override with container provided or built-in strategy.
4. etc.

The BeanManagerImpl doesn't expose the custom context maps
on their own to help with this. I can use reflection or make another call to getContext() and return null from my service to find other contexts but a well defined API might be useful; at least to be able to get copies of those maps.
