[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (JBSEAM-3050) Move Seam scanner code into Seam Core

Move Seam scanner code into Seam Core ------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-3050 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-3050 Project: Seam Issue Type: Task Components: Platform interoperability Reporter: Stan Silvert Assigned To: Pete Muir Fix For: 2.0.x, 2.1.0.BETA1 We need to move the Seam scanner code that Ales wrote into AS5 so that you don't have to deploy jboss-seam-jbas5.jar in your Seam project. Discussion thus far: ALES: How are you planning on solving the classloading issue there? e.g. if the custom Seam/AS5 scanning code is in AS5, but still references some Seam code, which is deployed as part of Seam app PETE: Hmm, we discussed splitting out the Scanner interface into an SPI, but I'm not sure that is a great idea as it will result in a proliferation of jars and confusion. ALES: I'm always in favor of this. More jars or not, having proper spi is always better then some tight integration. But then this means that people have to either - put this spi + plugins into some top level CL space - include it with every Seam app Which doesn't sound that bad - since all deployments should be automatic anyway (ant, maven2, ...). PETE: Any other ideas? We could merge this into seam core and select the scanner as needed... ALES: OK, this simplifies things. You do this via reflection - catching the first one that works. It's the criteria of what we need that it's the problem. At least I remember we had some issues determining weather we're running in AS5 or Embedded. But yeah, we can give it another shot.
