Any user-defined class instance that JSF creates should be classified as a components in Java EE. But, to accommodate that without tying JSF directly to the platform (a separation we have always maintained), there should be a pluggable class instance resolver which could be satisfied with a CDI implementation, a Spring bean implementation, etc. I had initially thought we should just specify that JSF is required to support this injection, but I can see that specifying an SPI to support instantiation/lifecycle management of these objects would fit well with the pluggability goal that JSF has. Is this too big for a mainatainance release?

Is this something we can prototype in MyFaces or Mojarra sooner?
