Re: [cdi-dev] getBeanClass return value for build-in beans?

Hi Werner, Arjan is correct. The runtime classpath will have the impl JSF 2.3 JAR and it will contain the javax.faces and com.sun.faces packages. The API jar we are referring to will not be part of the runtime classpath and as such should never be on the server runtime classpath, but could be used to compile against (and it will contain only the javax.faces packages) Thanks! Kind regards, Manfred Riem On 8/13/15, 8:55 AM, Werner Keil wrote: OK, thanks for the clarification. The way Arjan phrased it sounded like 2.3 would generally keep them in one place. Hence, if separate JARs are something CDI 2 has to consider, getBeanClass() and other methods must work for separate API and impl JARs ;-) Werner On Thu, Aug 13, 2015 at 3:44 PM, Edward Burns <edward.burns(a)oracle.com&gt; wrote: > >>>>> On Thu, 13 Aug 2015 15:24:00 +0200, Werner Keil < > werner.keil(a)gmail.com&gt; said: > > >> In this particular case it concerns the javax.faces.jar for JSF 2.3. > >> Some vendors split up this archive in two, an API jar and an impl, jar > >> (although for JSF 2.3 we don't really encourage this). > > WK> Could you explain, why the JSF 2.3 API and RI are molded together? > WK> If the API JAR is no longer separate from the RI (as it was till > WK> javax.faces-api-2.2.jar > WK> < > http://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=javax/faces/javax.faces-ap... > >) > WK> it seems, every vendor has to build that API JAR from scratch, or > carry a > WK> 3-4 MB JAR where the API in 2.2 was just a little under 700kB ?;-| > > We will be producing a separate API artifact for all the JCP > milestones. > > It is very important to note that the for all Java EE API jars, > including JSF, the only supported use is to satisfy compile time > dependencies.
