Hi Sven!
I don’t get the comparison with the Session. Attributes stored in the Session can get
modified in parallel Servlet Requests since day 1 of the Servet specification. They also
effectively almost always get handled by a different Thread for each subsequent Request.
So thise objects must implement proper concurrency handling since forever. This is not
changed by the fact that a lot of developers seem to not be aware of it.
LieGrue,

The question remains: Does CDI has to make sure, request scope implies single threaded
access, because most existing applications are not aware of possible threading issues for
request scoped beans?
I do not think so. Afaik the same problem has affected session scoped beans before
servlet 3.0, but application developers are hopefully more aware of it.

Thread safety was implied from the servlet spec, because the scope backing container
