Problem summary

  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:  CDI will not create an EJBDescriptor   *
  *                      for archive containing                  *
  *                      bean-discovery-mode=none. However       *
  *                      MDBs are not CDI beans, this means      *
  *                      that CDI will fail to create a          *
  *                      managed object for MDBs in an archive   *
  *                      with bean-discovery-mode=none. This     *
  *                      leads to a NullPointerException in in   *
  *                      com.ibm.ws.cdi.impl.managedobject.CDIEJ *

Problem conclusion

• We modified the code so that CDI will create the nessacary
  metadata to allow MDBs to work even in bean-discovery-mode=none
