Summary: Clarify that a Java EE component definition never results in a managed bean being created
Key: CDI-294
URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-294
Project: CDI Specification Issues
Issue Type: Clarification
Components: Beans, Java EE integration
Affects Versions: 1.0
Reporter: Jozef Hartinger
Assignee: Pete Muir
Fix For: 1.1 (Proposed)
Having e.g. a Servlet that matches managed bean requirements, there is nothing in the spec saying that the container should not take the servlet class and make a managed bean out of it. This results in ProcessInjectionTarget being fired twice. Furthermore, it does not actually make any sense to have Java EE component definitions (e.g. Servlets) to act as managed beans.

[Vote] @ApplicationScoped and visibility
by Pete Muir
CDI EG members,
Please vote on the following two issues by indicating whether you prefer either option (a) or (b) to both questions (1) and (2). Please vote asap, voting closes as soon as I have a complete set of votes from the EG or at COB (Eastern) on 30th Nov, whichever happens sooner :-)
Question 1, Visibility
---------------------------
The CDI 1.0 specification states that only beans whose bean class is accessible (using standard classloader visibility rules) can be injected into another bean. For example, if you have a bean A in WAR, assuming standard Java EE classloader structure, it wouldn't be available for injection in bean B, in an EJB modiule. This generally makes sense, as the type is not visible either.
CDI also offers two options to replace bean implementations transparently, without explicitly selecting that implementation (either by type or using a qualifier) - alternatives and specialization.
First, let's consider specialization. For example, if bean B, from the example above, is specialized by bean S in the WAR, and bean C in the same EJB module as B injects a type B, then what should be injected (if anything). The CDI 1.0 specification addresses this issue by disabling any bean which has been specialized across the entire application. Therefore, according to CDI 1.0, this would result in an deployment problem (as there would be an unsatisfied injection point).
Alternatives are addressed a little differently in CDI 1.0. For example, if bean B has an alternative A packaged in the WAR, then if A is selected in the war only, then if bean C in the same EJB module as B injects a type B, it would be injected with C. However, if A is selected for the EJB module as well, then the deployment should fail as beans.xml of the EJB module references S which it cannot see. Note that we have also added global visibility for alternatives in CDI 1.1, which may need revising based on what is decided here.
The EG has debated two options.
(a) maintain the status quo, as described by the CDI 1.0 spec
(b) take an approach where visibility is isolated according to the calling context. Thus, if a call originates via the WAR, then specialization and enabled alternatives in the WAR are visible to any bean which is called in that stack.
Approximately, Weld takes approach (a), and OWB takes approach (b), so which approach is more backwards compatible here is debatable.
Question 2, @ApplicationScoped
---------------------------------------------
CDI implementations have not consistently shared @ApplicationScoped beans across all modules of an EAR. Weld, and app servers built on Weld (those that we have surveyed include JBoss AS, GlassFish, WebLogic) have shared application scoped beans across the EAR. OWB isolates @ApplicationScoped beans to the calling context of the WAR, however applications servers built on OWB have shared beans across all modules of an EAR (this is certainly true of WebSphere, and I believe it is true of TomEE).
The EG has debated two options.
(a) require @ApplicationScoped beans to be shared across all modules of an EAR
(b) take an approach where @ApplicationScoped beans are isolated to the calling context
Whichever approach is taken, the EG is agreed that a scope that addresses the other option should be introduced.
So, please indicated which options you favour:
Question 1: (a) OR (b)
Question 2: (a) OR (b)
Thanks,
Pete

[JBoss JIRA] (CDI-267) Consider annotating built in scopes with @Scope
by Julien Viet (JIRA)
Julien Viet created CDI-267:
-------------------------------
Summary: Consider annotating built in scopes with @Scope
Key: CDI-267
URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-267
Project: CDI Specification Issues
Issue Type: Feature Request
Affects Versions: 1.0
Reporter: Julien Viet
The @Inject spec defines the @Singleton annotation that can be used in @Inject impls or CDI . The annotations defined in CDI can only be used in CDI and could not be reused with @Inject impl.
It technically (or per the spec) it is possible to annotation the CDI annotations with @Scope (in addition of @NormalScope) then those annotations could be reused in @Inject implemetentation, removing the need for proprietary annotations that do the same (com.google.inject.servlet.RequestScoped for example).

[JBoss JIRA] (CDI-303) Clarify declaring selected alternatives for an application

--------------------------------
Summary: Clarify declaring selected alternatives for an application
Key: CDI-303
URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-303
Project: CDI Specification Issues
Issue Type: Clarification
Reporter: Martin Kouba
It's not clear whether an alternative with a default priority but not selected for an application is selected for the bean archive whose beans.xml declares it.
The spec states:
{quote}
An alternative may be given a default priority, but not selected for an application using the <alternatives> element of the beans.xml file of the bean archive. The <alternatives> element contains a list of bean classes and stereotypes, along with a disabled flag and a priority attribute. An alternative is selected for the bean archive if either:
...
{quote}
Pay attention to the last sentence of the paragraph.

[JBoss JIRA] (CDI-271) Provide a way to inject Event metadata into an observer method
by Arne Limburg (JIRA)
Arne Limburg created CDI-271:
--------------------------------
Summary: Provide a way to inject Event metadata into an observer method
Key: CDI-271
URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-271
Project: CDI Specification Issues
Issue Type: Feature Request
Components: Events
Reporter: Arne Limburg
Currently there is no way for observer methods to access the qualifiers of the fired event (i.e. to access @Nonbinding members).
Consider the following example:
{code}
@Inject @MyQualifier
Event<MyObject> event;
public void fireEvent(MyObject object, MyTypeValue type) {
event.select(new MyTypeAnnotationLiteral(type)).fire(object);
}
{code}
Currently no observer can receive the value of MyTypeValue. I suggest to introduce an interface AnnotatedEvent that extends Annotated and contains this information. It then could be injected via the InjectionPoint like this:
{code}
public void observeEvent(@Observes @MyType MyObject object, InjectionPoint ip) {
MyType annotation = ip.getAnnotated().getAnnotation(MyType.class);
MyTypeValue value = annotation.value();
...
}
{code}

> Assignee: Pete Muir
> Labels: FAQ, with-annotations
> Fix For: 1.1.PRD

>
> Currently portable extensions that wish to look for a specific annotation have to look through all availible classes in the ProcessAnnotatatedType event, which is quite inefficient. It would be good if extensions could do something like:
> public void processAnnotatedType(@Observes @RequireAnnotations({(a)Unwraps.class}) ProcessAnnotatedType pat)
> This could allow the container to take advantage of annotation indexing to improve boot time performance, as well as reducing uneeded processing in the observer.
