Question

It seems to me that the following should result with both fields pointing the same instance,

class BeanToInject {
    // something
}

class TargetBean {

    @Inject
    private BeanToInject first;

    @Inject
    private BeanToInject second;

}

But it seems not to be true, because sysouting first and second I get

first: BeanToInject@2f51cd27
second: BeanToInject@1e92abdf

Isn’t it so that beans’ references should be reused across given context?
What did I miss here?

Answer 1

You did not specify the scope of BeanToInject, and CDI’s default scope is the dependent pseudo-scope where each injection point receives a new instance of the bean.
