Re: [cdi-dev] JMS 2.1: Proposal to allow any CDI managed bean in a Java EE application to listen for JMS messages

Hi Nigel!
Glad to hear from you. Was wondering, is there a way to manually register listeners?
The current proposal is is for the bean to start listening just as soon as it is created
(by CDI), and for it to stop
listening just before it is destroyed (by CDI).
As you suggesting that CDI would create the listener, but the application would call some
method to tell it to start
listening? or did you have something else in mind?
It would be great if this could
be leveraged in a CDI SE environment as well as EE environment.
I see that work is underway for CDI 2.0 to define how CDI might work in a Java SE
environment. I don't see why a similar
portable extension could not be created for use in Java SE. Since there would be no need
to support Java EE behaviour
such as transactions this could be built directly on top of the JMS provider's Java SE
client. No need to use a resource
adapter. However since the @JMSListener and @JMSConnectionFactory annotations use JNDI
there would be a need to be a way
to specify which JNDI InitialContext to use. I'm not proposing any of this at the
moment, but it might perhaps be
something that we (the JMS expert group) could consider later on as a optional part of JMS
2.1.
There's also the Java EE application client to consider.
