Re: [cdi-dev] CDI 1.1 EDR1 posted :-)
I basically share the sentiments Gavin posted on in.relation.to. We could do it but we
really should be picky and don't let the oldschool (call it 'unsexy') EJB and
EE like styled XML schema make it into the spec but rather build on top of the
namespace->package based syntax we had in the original CDI draft.
BUT:
1.) we need to be aware that XML schemas are NOT that easy to change later! Thus if we see
that we have forgotten something, then we are doomed for the future... And this situation
is highly likely imo since getting this part right is not exactly easy.
2.) writing a water-safe spec for this might get pretty hard. Expect to add 20 more pages
to our spec...
3.) There is one de-facto standard for it already, which is seam-XML. CODI nor any other
CDI Extension project will introduce any similar stuff because Seam-XML is working fine
and has a perfectly business friendly license. So I'm not sure which benefit writing
it into the spec would bring. I see no benefit over the current situation for CDI
containers nor end-users. Au contraire: if we hit an error in seam-xml, then it's easy
to get this fixed centrally.

I feel we need it too. I guess this goes without saying though.

I've received a lot of feedback at JavaOne that XML config is something people want to
see in the standard. So I would like to revisit this question.
