Re: [webbeans-dev] Terminology

I've had a few discussions with a certain EE vendor who is

that the use of the "Bean" terminology sends the message that Web
Beans is a separate component model that competes with EJB. I don't
necessarily agree, but I can see why some people might get that
impression. Whatever: on this issue I think we should do whatever is
necessary to make 299 palatable to all the vendors in the space.
So we should search for alternative terminology. Here's my suggestion:
Web Bean -> injectable type
simple Web Bean -> injectable java class
enterprise Web Bean -> session bean
Web Bean instance -> injectable instance / instance of an injectable
type
This seems quite fragmented to me, I guess I would go for something
like:
Web Bean -> injectable bean
Simple Web Bean -> injectable JavaBean
Enterprise Web Bean -> session bean
Web Bean instance -> injectable bean instance or just bean instance
This means we loose the proper noun (Web Bean) which I think is what
makes it sounds more like a new model, but to me seems more consistent
with Java terminology.
WDYT? Does anyone have a better suggestion? Does anyone *not* want to
make this change?
