Description

Expected behaviour: beanManager.getBeans(Object.class, new ServiceQualifier()) finds all beans that are qualified as "Service", regardless of the beans implementation type

Effective behaviour: The BeanManager fails if a base type (Object in this example) is provided instead of a leaf type. In theses cases, the BeanManager finds the Alternative beans only and forgets about all beans that lack of an Alternative

Reason: The BeanManager's helper org.apache.webbeans.container.InjectionResolver fails in method implResolveByType method as it can not handle collections of beans of different types. It treats all beans as if they where of the same type (and therefore have the same Alternative)
