Re: [cdi-dev] Feedback - CDI bootstrap API (CDI-26)

Le 4 mars 2015 à 11:34, Jozef Hartinger <jharting(a)redhat.com&gt; a écrit : Let me fix the terminology here: "Multiple BeanManagers" is a misleading expression because it is not clear if we are talking about multiple BM within a single CDI container or separate containers. What Antoine had in mind (I think) is multiple CDI container instances. Therefore, let's use "multiple CDI container instances" hereafter in order not to get confused. This topic was discussed before. There are a few tricky parts that can be resolved more or less (e.g. CDI.current()). We may not necessarily need to specify this but we should make sure we do not anyhow prevent or make it unnecessarily difficult for CDI implementations to implement "multiple CDI container instances" running in parallel.
