CDI Ambiguous dependencies

Question

I have a @SessionScoped @Named bean with a @Producer method for a user object:

@Named @SessionScoped
public class UserBean implements S         


        

Answer 1

This is because CDI searches for beans by type and your entity and the producer method return the same type. That's why it is ambiguous.

You need to define a new qualifier and annotate it with your producer method.

@Qualifier
@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Target({METHOD, FIELD, PARAMETER, TYPE})
public @interface CurrentUser {
}

Add this annotation to your producer method:

@Named @Produces @CurrentUser @LoggedIn @SessionScoped
public MyUser getCurrentUser() {return user;}
