[cdi-dev] Veto and Requires

"Any class or package may be prevented from providing bean definitions based on the availability of other classes by adding the @Requires annotation on the class or package." @Requires({Customer.class, Supplier.class}) public class Order { ... } Spring has something similar called @Required with some different behavior. But now that I think on it... it is different enough.... I'd prefer explicit names for these annotations. @ExcludeFromCDI and @ ExcludeFromCDIIfMissing. I know those are horrible names too. Not a big fan of @Veto and @Requires. How about @ExcludeAsSource, and it has an optional attribute called requires that takes an array of class types? I really really hate @Veto and @Requires. I guess I should search the mail list and see if I missed this conversation. -- *Rick Hightower* (415) 968-9037 Profile <http://www.google.com/profiles/RichardHightower>
