Re: [cdi-dev] inheritance of cdi scopes

Reading over the CDI spec definition for request scoped beans, I am a tad confused. When are request scoped beans being destroyed right now? Are they just bound to the Servlet request thread and destroyed as soon as the service method returns?

In case of asynchronous Servlets, are they kept around until the real HTTP request actually completes the same way the underlying HTTP connection is kept around? Or is that too difficult because it would require integration at a very low level with the Servlet implementation? There's some language around asynchronous completion right now but it's not very clear what actually happens. Does the onComplete, etc asynchronous callback basically create new request scoped instances? > On Mar 7, 2016, at 10:28 AM, Reza Rahman <reza_rahman(a)lycos.com&gt; wrote: > > Even in the most conservative reading of this, the spec is clearly not disallowing it. > >> On Mar 7, 2016, at 10:05 AM, Mark Struberg <struberg(a)yahoo.de&gt; wrote: >> >> The question is whether the spec does allow us to do it.

What it is saying is that a container implementing the Java EE concurrency utilities should ensure whatever contextual information is needed for managed components to work correctly should be propagated automatically. For the correct implementation of CDI scopes, this should also mean any currently active scopes.

CDI TCK breaks it quite easily and @RequestScoped which is *used* today is sadly a @ThreadLocalScoped badly named. So to solve it we would need another scope as I mentionned several times on this list 100% matching servlet instances lifecycles (on a pure CDI side we have the same issue for sessions which are recycled during a request, the session scope is corrupted *by spec* in term of user behavior). >>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>> On Mar 6, 2016, at 2:45 PM, John D.

From my understanding ee concurrency utilities was done in a time CDI was not there so it just ignored it somehow and it hasnt been updated when integrated to the spec. Now with the wording of the CDI - and TCK - it is impossible to make it working since request scope is bound the thre request thread - and not the request.

That was the first impl I did then Mark pointed out it was violating CDI spec and request scope definition. There is a kind of contracdiction there cause concurrency-utilities doesn't integrate with CDI at all but we can also see it the opposite way: CDI doesn't provide any way to propagate a context in another thread. Both point of view are valid so we need to see where we tackle it. >>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>> On Mar 6, 2016, at 12:35 PM, Romain Manni-Bucau < rmannibucau(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: >>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>> does https://gist.github.com/rmannibucau/d55fce47b001185dca3e help? >>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>> Idea is to give an API to make: >>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>> public void complete() { >>>>>>>>>>>> try { >>>>>>>>>>>> asyncContext.complete(); >>>>>>>>>>>> } finally { >>>>>>>>>>>> auditContext.end(); >>>>>>>>>>>> } >>>>>>>>>>>> } >>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>> working without hacky and almost impossible context pushing (cause of injections nature you are not supposed to know what to push in the context when going async). >>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>> Romain Manni-Bucau >>>>>>>>>>>> @rmannibucau | Blog | Github | LinkedIn | Tomitriber >>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>> 2016-03-06 16:40 GMT+01:00 Reza Rahman <reza_rahman(a)lycos.com >: >>>>>>>>>>>> Can you kindly share an annotated code example of the proposed solution so we can all follow and discuss this? >>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>> On Mar 6, 2016, at 9:31 AM, Romain Manni-Bucau < rmannibucau(a)gmail.com&gt; wroteshar: >>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>> Hi guys, >>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>> spoke on concurrency utilities about the ability to inherit a cdi scope.

It would be neat - and mandatory in some case by the loose coupling nature of CDI - to get the *same* MyBean *instance* in this thread. With a direct dependency you can easily use message passing pattern - but you loose the loose coupling cause you need to know until which level you unwrap, think t principal case which has 2-3 proxies!. However in practice you have a lot of undirect dependencies, in particular with enterprise concerns (auditing, security...) so you can't really do it easily/naturally. >>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>> Bonus: >>>>>>>>>>>>> One very verbose way is to be able to kind of push/pop an existing context in a thread - wrappers doing it on a Runnable/Consumer/Function/... would be neat. >>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>> Question: >>>>>>>>>>>>> Would CDI handle it in 2.0? >>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>> Side note: this is really about the fact to reuse a "context context" (its current instances map) in another thread the more transparently possible and match the user vision more than a technical question for now. >>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>> Romain Manni-Bucau >>>>>>>>>>>>> @rmannibucau | Blog | Github | LinkedIn | Tomitriber >>>>>>>>>>>>> _______________________________________________ >>>>>>>>>>>>> cdi-dev mailing list >>>>>>>>>>>>> cdi-dev(a)lists.jboss.org >>>>>>>>>>>>> https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/cdi-dev >>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>> Note that for all code provided on this list, the provider licenses the code under the Apache License, Version 2 ( http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html).
