Re: [cdi-dev] Types of Principal object
by Werner Keil
If Soteria could handle something like that independent of the underlying
CDI implementation, it would be great. At the moment it does not seem to
require Weld, so unless it redefined the whole "AbstractBean"
functionality, not sure, if we can do it there, but I would certainly love
to see it there if possible.
Kind Regards,
Werner

Re: [cdi-dev] Types of Principal object
by Werner Keil
Not sure, if I follow you on that?
java.security.Principal is not part of the CDI spec at all and only used by
a special subclass of
AbstractEEBean<T>
The problem seems the generic T which Java at this point is unable to know
about at runtime.
It makes no difference, if you had
PrincipalBean extends AbstractEEBean<Principal>
or a
StringBean extends AbstractBuiltInBean<String>
Even created a JUnit test in
https://github.com/unitsofmeasurement/uom-se/blob/master/src/test/java/te...
Which under Java 8 returns
"java.lang.reflect.TypeVariable<D>"
No sign of "Length" which is what you'd hoped for (maybe we did not dig
deep enough, maybe it won't work until a future Java version?)

Types of Principal object
by John Ament
Hey guys
I raised a bug against the Weld guys, but think its worth an EG discussion. When a Principal object is injected, the only type it has is Principal. It does not retain the actual type used at runtime. This threw me off on some Keycloak integration I'm working on (in $dayjob). So I was wondering, is this expected from our POV or should it retain the types of the actual runtime instance?
John

Re: [cdi-dev] Types of Principal object
by Werner Keil
Btw. I think some aspects of this thread seem a little off-topic or more
specific to the JSR 375 list instead (or at least it would be good to CC
that one for detailed java.security discussions rather than if a generic
type works or not)

Seems the title of the thread was also not "reified" in this case.

Re: [cdi-dev] cdi-dev Digest, Vol 77, Issue 8
by Werner Keil
We had similar challenges and discussions even before JSR 363 about knowing
what type of quantity you're dealing with types like
Unit<Q extends Quantity
<http://unitsofmeasurement.github.io/unit-api/site/apidocs/javax/measure/Q...><Q>>
I can only confirm Arjan's impression. And I had numerous conversations
with Andrew Kennedy, the Chief Architect behind the F# Units of Measurement
support and other .NET libraries about it. Where he mentioned shortcomings
of the Java language especially the lack of Reified Generics (
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31876372/what-is-reification), which C#,
F# or other .NET languages got, but Java won't at least not until Java 10,
11 or even later.
I tried a lot between 2010 and now but so far none of these Reflection
tricks and approaches were stable enough, so not sure, if it'll work any
better in this case (unless you implement CDI in C#;-)

Matej Novotny commented on CDI-701:
-----------------------------------
bq. Regarding your idea about an API or SPI to add bean defining annotations, I guess that would need to work before any extensions are called, no?
More or less yes. As it turns out, there are some chicken-egg problems around this. So ATM the only viable option would be something static, existing before CDI even tries to bootstrap. E.g. define this inside {{beans.xml}} for instance (but then again,while I think this would be ok as Weld configuration, I am not sure it's good to define in on spec level).
bq. So it would only work when the user is responsible of bootstraping the container?
If you had this level of control, you could "easily" expand the set of BDA. But from CDI spec perspective, this is a blind end I think.

> I'm adding some annotations as stereotypes via an extension, with the purpose of converting into beans any classes annotated with them (JAX-RS resources in my specific case). What I'm facing is that classes with that annotations are still only discovered if they were to be discovered before. So when using discovery-mode="annotated", my JAX-RS resources are not passed to the @ProcessAnnotatedType event.
> WildFly automatically converts JAX-RS resources into @RequestScoped CDI beans, but looking at the code I saw it does that dealing directly with Weld APIs at server level, not on a portable manner at RESTEasy level.
> I haven't found any mention in the spec that my approach wouldn't work, but the TCK doesn't address this usecase, which makes me think it's not supported.
> Could you please clarify me the situation? Could this me changed on a future version?

> Hi,

> I have a question about the behavior of the "BeforeBeanDiscovery#add*()" methods.
>
> My usecase is the following: I'd want to convert all JAX-RS resources into CDI beans. That resources are all annotated with @Path. My understanding was that converting that annotation into a stereotype would make them eligible as bean types.
>
> Since I can't modify that annotation, I just created an extension that observes the BeforeBeanDiscovery event and converts @Path into a stereotype associated with the @RequestScoped annotation. But it doesn't work, neither on Weld nor on OpenWebBeans. The class is not discovered on the next ProcessAnnotatedType event.
>
> I haven't found anything in the spec that explicitly says that a "runtime added" bean defining annotation makes clases eligible for discovery. But I think is makes sense.
>
> Checking the TCK, test org.jboss.cdi.tck.tests.extensions.stereotype.StereotypeExtensionTest tests that the addition of the stereotype works, but doesn't cover my case of adding a stereotype to a non bean class.
>
> Is this expected to work that way? Is a bug on the TCK and implementations? Any other way to achieve my goal?
