[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-719) Allow attributes on scope annotations

Todor Boev created CDI-719: ------------------------------ Summary: Allow attributes on scope annotations Key: CDI-719 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-719 Project: CDI Specification Issues Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Contexts Affects Versions: 2.Future Reporter: Todor Boev Priority: Minor The 2.0 specification states that scope annotations with attributes result in non-portable behavior: https://docs.jboss.org/cdi/spec/2.0/cdi-spec.html#defining_new_scope_type At the same time Java EE standards like JSF use attributes on some of their scope annotations.:http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/7/api/javax/faces/flow/FlowSco... There are use cases of applications that have a well defined structure, but the user must specify multiple copies of that structure. One can imagine a server application that must handle multiple endpoints, so the user must have the means to create multiple copies of a request processing pipeline. E.g. {{@RequestScoped("login")}}, {{@RequestScoped("shopping-card")}}. Ideally CDI should use annotation instances, rather than annotation classes to select contexts. http://docs.jboss.org/cdi/api/2.0/javax/enterprise/inject/spi/BeanAttribu... http://docs.jboss.org/cdi/api/2.0/javax/enterprise/inject/spi/BeanManager... http://docs.jboss.org/cdi/api/2.0/javax/enterprise/context/spi/Context.ht... If this is not possible at least BeanAttributes can have a convenience method to get the scope annotation instance, and the specification should explicitly allow the use of attributes on scope annotations. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.5.0#75005)
