[webbeans-dev] standard name for conversation
by Dan Allen
It would seem very useful if certain components had standard names. For
instance, it is quite common to consult the conversation object in JSF via
the EL. I would hate for different implementations to use different names
making the reference to the conversation non-portable. Would it be
reasonable to make javax.context.conversation the standard name?
e.g. #{javax.context.conversation.longRunning}

[webbeans-dev] Supporting proxies with no no-arg constructors in RI
by Jason T. Greene
Hi Everyone,
As a non-standard extension, I was thinking that we could support
generation proxies of classes not containing no-arg constructors by
using various techniques that are supported by most JDKs.
This would involve generating a proxy with a constructor call passing
bogus parameters. Then a JDK specific approach would be used to
instantiate the proxy class:
Sun, IcedTea, Mac: Unsafe.allocateInstance() - The most efficient
Above + IBM, JRockit: ReflectionFactory.newConstructorForSerialization()

[webbeans-dev] @New
by Pete Muir
Since the change in the spec defining that there is a new bean for
every bean, we lost the language that disallows:
@New @SomeOtherBinding Foo foo;
AFAICT it still makes sense to disallow this. So, should that language
be there?
We also lost the language that disallows specific declaration of a
Bean as having @New as a binding type.
