Description

Declare a bean as:

@Alternative
@ConversationScoped
public class MBean implements Serializable {
}

Deployment fails during validating MBean.

Change the bean to:

@Typed()
@ConversationScoped
public class MBean implements Serializable {
}

Deployment succeeds.

It seems that non-enabled alternative beans are correctly ignored during bean scanning, but not ignored during validation. The metadata is not there and validation fails.
