[seam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (SEAMCRON-6) Can we use @RequestScoped for @Asynchronous methods? How?

Can we use @RequestScoped for @Asynchronous methods? How? --------------------------------------------------------- Key: SEAMCRON-6 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SEAMCRON-6 Project: Seam Cron Issue Type: Task Reporter: Peter Royle Assignee: Peter Royle Fix For: 3.0.0.Alpha2 This is one for investigation some time. It came up in this IRC chat: IRC Transcript: [11:10am] johnament: request scoped won't be active in a background thread. [11:10am] PeteRoyle: ah true cos it's threadlocal? [11:10am] johnament: which? [11:11am] PeteRoyle: request scoped implementation [11:11am] PeteRoyle: won't work in a background thread because the implementation of request scope uses threadlocal, is that right? [11:11am] johnament: its essentially an HTTP request [11:12am] PeteRoyle: right [11:12am] PeteRoyle: I think the use case is valid though, do you agree? [11:13am] johnament: its valid, but it breaks the CDI model, so to say [11:13am] johnament: because you want to make your contextual objects available outside of your context [11:14am] PeteRoyle: right yeah that makes sense [11:14am] PeteRoyle: the request might be over [11:14am] johnament: the only thing really available is going to be dependent or application scoped [11:15am] johnament: the bigger question - which request? [11:15am] PeteRoyle: well the one from which the @Asynch method was called - assuming we could hang onto it [11:15am] PeteRoyle: hang onto the request that is [11:16am] PeteRoyle: eg: a controller which @Injects a @RequestScoped Thing, then calls an @Asynchronous method [11:17am] johnament: the only way it would work is to make request scope extend through your @asynch process is over. [11:18am] PeteRoyle: The interceptor would have access to the correct @RequestScope. It would need to replicate it into the new thread. Would that be possible do you think? [11:18am] johnament: i don't know how plausible/possible that even is. [11:18am] PeteRoyle: yeah. I might leave that as something for investigation later. I'll JIRA it [11:18am] johnament: jms does this by transporting the event over JMS, but loses the context.
