As soon as Pete gets back online, we have a number of items we have identified in the meeting at Devoxx. Those items should start to flow in this weekend.<br><br>-Dan<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Nov 20, 2009 at 7:35 PM, Gavin King <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:gavin.king@gmail.com">gavin.king@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

extensions. I think there's three kinds of "things" we will be working<br>
on:<br>
<br>
* Unportable extensions (UEs), that integrate with proprietary SPIs in Weld<br>
* Portable extensions (PEs) with the Weld brand<br>
* Portable extensions (PEs) with the Seam brand<br>
<br>
I imagine that we will distribute UEs along with Weld and cover them<br>
in the Weld documentation. Hopefully there will not be too many of<br>
these.<br>
<br>
Weld PEs are going to be things that:<br>
<br>
* are general purpose,<br>
* are simple, and<br>
* don't pull in extra dependencies.<br>
<br>
Things which don't fit this description get the Seam brand.<br>
<br>
We already have:<br>
<br>
(1) weld-se<br>
(2) weld-servlet and weld-tomcat<br>
(3) weld-wicket<br>
<br>
These are all UEs, I suppose. Or are some of them PEs?<br>
<br>
So here's the things that I would like to see us release soon:<br>
<br>
(1) A weld-ext module with:<br>
<br>
* logger injection,<br>
* @Exact,<br>
* @Introduces,<br>
* abstract producer methods,<br>
* beans declared at constructor level, and<br>
* @Named packages.<br>
<br>
These are all very easy to implement except @Introduces, which<br>
requires a little javassist magic.<br>
<br>
(I would just package weld-logger in here, I don't see why it needs to<br>
be in its own module.)<br>
<br>
(2) A seam2-int module with:<br>
<br>
* use of @Inject to inject of Seam2 beans into CDI beans (i.e. Weld<br>
delegates bean instantiation to Seam when there is a @Name)<br>
* (hopefully) support for @Inject in Seam2 beans, if this is not<br>
too hard to implement<br>
<br>
I have already done a rough impl of the first part.<br>
<br>
(3) A spring-int module.<br>
<br>
(4) a seam-transactions module with:<br>
<br>
* support for declarative JPA EntityTransaction management<br>
* support for injection of the EntityTransaction<br>
* (hopefully) support for the same things with a UserTransaction<br>
provided by JBoss Transactions<br>
* support for the same things with a Hibernate Transaction<br>
<br>
I have already done a rough impl of the first part.<br>
<br>
(5) a seam-persistence module with:<br>
<br>
* support for injection of JPA EntityManagers with various scopes<br>
* (hopefully) support for injection of Hibernate Sessions with various scopes<br>
<br>
I have already done a rough impl of the first part.<br>
<br>
(6) a seam-web module with:<br>
<br>
* injection of FacesContext<br>
* injection of servlet contexts<br>
<br>
These are both easy.<br>
<br>
(7) a seam-jms module with:<br>
<br>
* injection of all the various JMS objects for a resource of type<br>
Topic or Queue<br>
<br>
Is there anything I'm missing?<br>
<br>
