Description

we currently use the @ViewAccessScoped annotation as a Qualifier in CODI internally. But this is not correct and OWB crashes with an Exception at runtime (I assume Weld will reacts in a similar way).

In my situation it happens with a @ViewAccessScoped bean which gets an event via @Observes. At the time the event gets fired, OWB crashes with the following stacktrace:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Qualifier annotations must be annotated with @Qualifier

One argument more to move our @ViewAccessScoped from a stereotype to a 'real' scope
