[webbeans-dev] Using Web Beans Trunk with JBoss 5.2
by Pete Muir
Hi guys,
I forgot to mention to you all, if you are running TCK tests in trunk,
you must use a JBoss AS 5.2 snapshot newer than around 15th September
(after this date, AS 5.2 included Bean Validation support).

[webbeans-dev] Lifecycle for WebBeans SE Module
by Peter Royle
Hi,
I've come across a bit of a problem with the PFD2 from the SE module
perspective. There's no longer any suitable built-in event which can
be used to kick off the SE application, due to there not being any
lifecycle events which fire while the contexts are active. We used to
use @Observes @Deployed Manager, and by doing so the observer method
was executed inside a fully injected bean with all contexts available.
In PFD2 we have the AfterDeploymentValidation event, but it gets fired
'before creating contexts and processing requests'. Then the next
lifecycle event after that is BeforeShutdown.
The simplest alternative I can think of is a custom event introduced
for WebBeans SE specifically, thrown by the SE module itself, which
isn't ideal because we lose that portability.
Any thoughts or advice?
Related question: How is application code written for CDI supposed to
execute code on startup - does it have to register an Extension and
execute without any contexts/injection?
Cheers,
Pete.

[webbeans-dev] Can't observe built-in events
by Peter Royle
Hi,
I'm noticing that I can't successfully observe the
AfterDeploymentValidation event which is a key requirement for the SE
module. I'm not sure if this is a problem with the SE module, or with
WebBeans in general. I've tried stepping through the code and it seems
like the observers are registered, but then when the event is fired
it's like there are no observers to notify. Custom events work fine
though.
Does anyone know if built-in events should be working or of any
existing tests or sample apps I could try out to verify if the problem
lies with WB core?
Alternatively, would anyone be able to take a quick look at my
specific problem for me by doing this:
svn co https://svn.jboss.org/repos/webbeans/extensions/trunk/se
mvn clean install
You'll notice the resulting test failure:
at org.jboss.webbeans.environment.se.test.StartMainTest.testObservers
(StartMainTest.java:96)
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.
Pete.

[webbeans-dev] Observing BeforeBeanDiscovery
by Peter Royle
Hi,
I want to be able to observe the BeforeBeanDiscovery event, and am
unsure how to get around the obvious bootstrap problem. I'm thinking
I'll need to programatically register the observing bean (before
bootstrap.startInitialization() get's called), but I'm unsure how to
do that. Alternatively is there a better idiom for observing
BeforeBeanDiscovery?
Cheers,
Pete.

Re: [webbeans-dev] Is @Named qualifier?
by Sven Linstaedt
quoted from the OWB dev list:
>From my point of view this is a conceptual mismatch: One spec uses the
annotation just for binding specific beans to a literal name, the other one
uses it for differentiate between multiple beans.
Even this should be no immediate issue for JSR 299's typesafe resolution
mechanism, if a single bean is further qualified with specific @Named name,
I do not feel well, if people are going to use this annotation as a
qualifying one like @Named("stage_test") on multiple beans. The EL namespace
gets polluted with unresolvable names and developers become potentially
confused by the ambiguous usage of the annotation.
In brief: Identifiers (like EL names or Spring bean IDs) does not feel like
being qualifiers (e.g. @Asynchronous) from my point of view.

Re: [webbeans-dev] Is @Named qualifier?
by Dan Allen
My question was retorical. I don't get how it is a qualifier. It violates
the whole type-safety approach. Having an EL name is orthogonal to having a
qualifier.
