Re: [cdi-dev] Having an official CDI tutorial and user forum

Hi Radim, Allow me to post my answer on the list so every body will benefit of your contribution. first of all I would like to let you know that I very appreciate your effort to promote my favourite technology :) Thanks. I hope we’ll achieve to pursue this promotion effort. It’s always hard to mix highly conceptual technical activity like a spec and promotion / communication at the same time. My feeling is CDI is very overlooked and deserve a bigger community. Community that could help us making it better. Note that I’m not very objective on that topic ;). >> I think it would be useful to provide an official CDI 1.1 tutorial on cdi-spec site I agree with you a cdi tutorial with a plenty of quickstarts is desperately missing something like jboss way quickstarts would be a great addition to cdi-spec.org site Yes JDF quick starts are nice (and also deal with Deltaspike) but need documentation to introduced them. [1] Apache team have nice example for CDI as well on TomEE examples [2] I also remember seeing interesting content on IBM developerworks. I can find them right now. >> I have the feeling such content is already nearly written by people in this ML recently I tried to find some details on how to properly use @ThreadScoped in java se environment and the only place where I found a working sample was this ML ( http://lists.jboss.org/pipermail/weld-dev/2009-December/002016.html) You may know threadscope is not in the spec, Its specific to Weld, I don’t know if OWB has something like that. Anyway, writing a tutorial on building a thread scope for all imll, could be interesting. Great to show how to add a new scope and promote CDI for SE at the same time. >> so if you have written introduction tutorial to CDI and agree to be reused on official site it would be great and time saving for me I have already written some CDI samples for my colleagues including the one mentioned above I would be pleased to supply these samples… Great. We surely could benefit from them Sincerely, Radim Hanus Thanks again for your commitment Antoine [1] http://www.jboss.org/jdf/quickstarts/get-started/ [2] http://tomee.apache.org/examples-trunk/index.html 2013/11/18 Antoine Sabot-Durand <antoine(a)sabot-durand.net&gt; > Hi all, > > First excuse my french in previous meeting invites.
