Refactor Bean to have alternatives

[bulldog98]

I have an interface

interface RpcClient {
    <T, R> Uni<R> request(RequestAddress requestAddress, T requestData, MessageMetaData metaData, TypeReference<R> typeOfReply);
}

and an implementation of that with a json based encoding. This is injected all over the app.

When I add a second implementation with

@Dependent
@Named("Bson")
@Priority(2)
class BsonRpcClientImpl implements RpcClient { ... } 

and add @Named("Json") @Priority(1) to the other implementation. I get a AmbiguousResolutionExceptions. How do I make it so that I do not have to change all sites I used the previous "Json" implementation?

The answer is annotate the original Bean with @Alternative then it will be picked up as the default
