Re: [undertow-dev] Undertow development mode

What I am bit worried about is that this would introduce "development-mode" flags for every subsystem in bit different way. And we would end up with similar confusion as with runtime statistics stuff we currently have. That would be even worse than having global switch, as people would go to production with just some dev flags disabled but forgot about others... much harder to debug / track. Also if we are making sure that recycling http sessions work then same should work for SFSB & scoped CDI beans (@ApplicationScoped) On Wed, Jul 31, 2013 at 4:04 PM, Jason Greene <jgreene(a)redhat.com&gt; wrote: > I am really not a fan of this big global switch idea. > > First off, a number of things that people enabled with "development" mode should just work.
