Re: [cdi-dev] CDI 1.1 EDR1 posted :-)

*1.2.6. Relationship to JSF* *JavaServer Faces is a web-tier presentation framework that provides a component model for graphical user interface components and an event-driven interaction model that binds user interface components to objects accessible via Unified EL.* *This specification allows any bean to be assigned a Unified EL name. Thus, a JSF application may take advantage of the sophisticated context and dependency injection model defined by this specification.* Could this section really be called relationship to Servlets and JSP? Unified EL is not really part of JSF or JSP. My recollection is that you can use CDI managed beans from Universal EL from JSPs. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7385723/cdi-injection-in-a-jsp Thus, you could use it with any framework. Why is there no section on relationship with JSP and Servlets.... What we are really talking about is relationship with Unified EL. Anyway... I find the CDI doc implies strong coupling with EJB and JSF that just does not exist in any version of CDI for the most part and certainly much less so with CDI 1.1. I would reword as follows.... (flawed but closer) *1.2.6. Relationship to JSF, Servlets and JSP* *If you use a framework like JavaServer Faces that uses the Unified EL, then it will work with this specification.* *This specification allows any bean to be assigned a Unified EL name. Thus, any technology that uses Unified EL, JSP, in a supported container can use beans managed by CDI.* It is rough and perhaps not 100% accurate, but closer to what we have now.
