Re: [cdi-dev] Recap of Context Management (CDI-30) hangout meeting

Martins argument with Quartz is a good one. Having 2 different ways to do the same thing might be making things too complicated. You also have to think about what happens if a user or libraries would mix the 2 approaches?

So my vote is for the programmatic approach. Oh and while we are at it: If we introduce some 'RequestContextControl' bean, should it also contain a isActive() method? Otherwise we might get into troubles with nesting such code. Of course it is possible by code like try { beanManager.getContext(RequestScoped.class); // request context is active } catch (ContextNotActiveException cnae) { // request context is not active // start it etc. } But that seems a bit heavyweight, isn't?
