I like what Nik has done so far (in terms of the chain of responsibility pattern for various BM lookups.) So keeping that, let's talk about what else we need to provide the missing lookup functionality (that we can identify.)<br>
<br>What's there now is good for a start.<br><br>I agree -- BeanManagerAware is ONLY for places where you absolutely cannot access the beanmanager in a proper fashion, or cannot achieve injection in the proper fashion. This should be very clearly stated -- I'll update the docs.<br>

Guys,<br>
<br>
There still seems to be some confusion about why this is an issue that we *must* address. Taking a step back, we have some general requirements for Seam 3:<br>
<br>
* that we want to use the Java SE platform<br>
* that we also want to use "app servers"<br>
<div class="im">* that we want these extensions to be portable not just across Java EE containers but across Servlet containers too<br>
* that we want this to work in more esoteric deployment scenarios than a single-war-per-server-instance OR bundling the extension as a library of the war OR using special tricks like deployers in JBoss AS<br>
<br>
</div>Then there is *no* general solution to this problem that I know of (I'm not just not telling people what the solution because I'm some sort of sadist ;-). Instead, we have a number of partial solutions, which, when combined should get us the whole way there.<br>
<br>
I see that I was wrong to not put this in Weld Extensions from the beginning. We can take Nik's basic design, add service providers into the mix (to make this extensible and remove the hard dep on the servlet container) which should at least mean we don't reinvent a square wheel many times ;-).<br>
<br>
However, it is still *extremely* important that each time you can't just inject the BeanManager you take a step back, and consider how you need to access the BeanManager. For example, it is infinitely better to push the BeanManager into some sort of locally propagated context than to resort to lookup techniques. There is no guarantee that lookup techniques will work everywhere, whilst a actively propagating the BeanManager will.<br>
<br>
So, before you extend BeanManagerAware, please please consider whether there is a better option. It is a measure of last resort *only*. Often people on the dev list will have a good idea about how to get it, so please ask.<br>
<br>
I will add these notes to the lookup class. Before we do release candidates of a module, you can expect the BeanManagerAware police to visit and possibly demand changes too ;-)<br>
