Seam could have a "hacks" module that would add the binding type and<br>
producer method ;-)</blockquote><div><br>Maybe 10 beers in you can convince me, but I don't see using the HTTP contexts as hacks. To me, they have been around for 10+ years and software uses them. That is a reality. You walk into any technical manager's office and try to tell them you can't use contexts anymore and they will gladly show you the door and hire some programmer willing to use them. There is software in an ivory tower and there is real life. We are stupid not to offer some way to access these contexts. Can we advocate not to .... sure, fine, but I still think it is stupid to pretend they don't exist.<br>
