[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-129) Clarify behaviour of @ApplicationScoped in EARs
[

Stuart Douglas commented on CDI-129:
------------------------------------
"Now the question is: why the hack do we need that? Just use an @Singleton EJB if you
like to share state between different WAR files, MDB and stuff!"
The problem with this is that this only works for EE applications. So if you want a
singleton bean, you have to use @javax.ejb.Singleton for EE apps, and @ApplicationScoped
for non EE apps, which I don't think is that great.
Clarify behaviour of @ApplicationScoped in EARs
-----------------------------------------------
Key: CDI-129
URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-129
Project: CDI Specification Issues
Issue Type: Clarification
Components: Contexts
Affects Versions: 1.0
Reporter: Mark Struberg
Assignee: Pete Muir
Fix For: 1.1 (Proposed)
Since @ApplicationScoped currently is defined in 6.5.2 as to be 'like in the Servlet
specification' this means that you will get a new instance for every WebApplication
(WAR file).
There is currently no specified CDI scope for providing a single shared instance for a
whole EAR.
We could (ab-)use @Singleton for that, but this is currently not well defined at all.
Alternatively we could introduce an own new annotation like @EnterpriseScoped or likes.
