Application deployment fails with a following exception:

Looking at the code that belongs to weld-core-1.1.5.AS71.Final, we can see the following at the lines 193-194 of BeanDeployment:

193: BeansClosure closure = BeansClosure.getClosure(this.beanManager);
194: closure.addEnvironment(this.beanDeployer.getEnvironment());

Which leads to a conclusion that closure is null (the lines prior to the mentioned ones show that beanDeployer itself couldn't be null).
Looking into BeansClosure#getClosure():

public static BeansClosure getClosure(BeanManagerImpl beanManager)
{
BeansClosure closure = (BeansClosure)closureMap.get(beanManager);
if (closure == null) {
synchronized (closureMap) {
if (!closureMap.containsKey(beanManager)) {
closure = new BeansClosure();
for (Iterable beanManagers : BeanManagers.getAccessibleClosure(beanManager)) {
for (BeanManagerImpl accessibleBeanManager : beanManagers)

{ closureMap.put(accessibleBeanManager, closure); }

}
}
}
}
return closure;
}

To prevent race conditions, maybe it makes sense to reside the full method body into synchronized block.
