Leonardo Uribe commented on MYFACES-3742:
-----------------------------------------
Committed solution for this issue. It seems the easiest way to do it is use a
cdi Extension that register an application scope bean and use the annotation
syntax to create the producer method. Then, the tricky part was use cdi to get
the list of flow definitions. I tried with both weld and openwebbeans and in
both cases it works.

> Implement @FlowDefinition cdi annotation, as described in the spec.
> I have found this annotation very tricky to implement. It is simple to do it
> using @Produces annotation, but the real trouble is we can't use CDI
> annotations inside myfaces implementation by the following reasons:
> - jar files without beans.xml will not be scanned. If we add the file inside
> myfaces jar, CDI will try to scan all classes inside the jar file, and some
> of them require optional dependencies. The final effect is CDI will start to
> throw errors.
> - In some cases, myfaces jars are not on WEB-INF/lib folder, and are just
> part of the default libraries of the server, so there is no reference to the
> files.
> The only option is use javax.enterprise.inject.spi.Producer, but
> Producer.getInjectionPoints() returns a Set<InjectionPoint> which usually are
> customized for the CDI implementation. So, we need to provide an
> implementation, but before that, we need to check how that part works to do
> not break CDI implementations.
