Antoine Sabot-Durand commented on CDI-280:
------------------------------------------
After having checked the majority of the 1904 Bean occurrences in the spec and to provide
a consistent approach I propose these names
* The class that gets Scanned : *Bean Class* (_quite obvious_)
* The Bean<T> : *Bean Metadata* (_because the previous defined *Bean Class* is not
{{Bean.class}}_)
* The instance : *Bean* or *Bean Instance* (_The most accepted usage in the spec and in
other IoC framework_)
* The proxy on the instance : *Bean client proxy* or *Client proxy* (_Already in the spec
even if I don't like the term "proxy"_)
* Type of injection type : *InjectionPoint Type* (_obvious_)
* EJB Bean : *Session Bean* (_obvious_)
The idea is to start from the user point of view. The _Bean_ is the object instance that
gets injected in the developer code. It has the required _Bean Class_ and the container
stores its _Bean Metadata_. Some _Bean_ are not injected directly but are wrapped in
_Client Proxy_ to provide CDI services. _Bean_ are provided by the container which use
_Injection Point Type_ and Qualifiers to retrieve the corresponding _Bean Metadata_ to
lookup for or create the _Bean_ which can be wrapped in a _Client Proxy_ if needed.
I also propose that these terms should be introduced at the beginng of the spec.
clarify usage of 'bean' term usage in the spec

Key: CDI-280
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-280
Project: CDI Specification Issues
Issue Type: Clarification
Reporter: Mark Struberg
Labels: CDI_spec_chge
Fix For: 1.2 Proposed
We should go to the spec and look up all 'bean' words as they are 5 different
meaning the word 'bean' is used for
* The Bean<T> extends Contextual<T>. Should be referred as 'Bean' or
'CDI Bean'
* The class which gets scanned. Should be referred as 'Bean Class' to
* The instance stored in the context. Should be referred to as 'Contextual
Instance'
* The proxy for a Contextual Instance should be referred to as 'Contextual
Reference'
* The type of an injection point should be referred to as 'InjectionPoint Type'
