Is there a way to know if a state is active without catching ContextNotActiveException?

Question

I would like to know if the RequestScoped context is currently active in a method or not.

No, the only option we have in CDI 1.0 is to catch the ContextNotActiveException.

Your solution should work.

This actually ends up being a problem because scope implementation is not available for injection.

E.g. You can't just @Inject RequestScopedContextImpl rq; and check the rq.isActive() method, because we don't have access to that class without knowing the implementation details of CDI itself.
