Hello EG members. I have a question regarding this statement from the "Parts CDI Workshop doc". The line is: "Allow 3rd parties to implement easily this subpart of CDI"
One thing, which has constantly frustrated me when using CDI 1.x, is the lack of seamless integration with popular/proprietary DI frameworks (like Spring). Regarding my experience with CDI+Spring in one app, I annotate CDI injection points one way, and Spring injection points another way. I do not like this schism and always seek to resolve it the best I can, but it's never satisfactory to me.
It's my hope that, one day, custom DI frameworks that boot-up inside an app can join themselves to the CDI engine and be able offer up their beans through a CDI SPI. When the app tears down, so does the 3rd party framework and those beans are no longer available. Thus, I would like CDI to offer integration service points so that bean contexts/archive are, in a sense, federated.
