APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Context and Dependency Injection (CDI) uses a different
  approach to dependency injection. Classes with final methods
  CDI doesn't allow that
  
  In systemout.log we see the following error
  
  com.ibm.ws.exception.RuntimeWarning:
  com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.exception.WebAppNotLoadedException:
  Failed to load webapp: Failed to load webapp: WebBeans with api
  type with normal scope must be proxiable to inject.
  com.customer.code.web.validator.impl.NumberValidator has final
  methods! CDI doesn&#39&#59;t allow that.

  ****************************************************************
  CDI-1.0 currently specifies that classes that are declared
  final or have final methods cannot be proxied by the CDI
  container. This is overly strict, since the criteria
  should only apply to non-static and non-private methods. This
  criteria has been changed in the 1.1 version of the CDI
  specification.
  

Problem conclusion

• CDI container has been modified to allow proxying of classes
  that have private final methods.
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 8.0.0.4.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
