WELD-862 and Seam Cron
by Peter Royle
Hi,
I'm aiming to make a release of Seam Cron available within the next two weeks. Currently there is an outstanding issue (https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WELD-862) which prevents Cron from running properly with Weld. I have been able to carry on developing Cron by testing it against OpenWebBeans, but obviously if we are to release a Seam module it should work against Weld.
It would be nice if WELD-862 could be fixed as soon a possible so that all future versions will work well with Cron.
But more importantly I also probably need to do something special in Cron so that it will work with the version of Weld already deployed in JBoss AS and Glassfish, which will contain the bug. The workaround mentioned in the bug report is to deep copy the InvocationContext. I attempted to do this by serialising and unserialising the InvocationContext but couldn't due to UnserializableExceptions. Does anyone have any advice for me about how I might be able to work around this bug to support existing versions of Weld?
Cheers,
Pete R

Re: [weld-dev] Legal bean type question
by Matej Novotny
Once again, please post questions like these to weld-dev mailing list.
To answer you, I think both of the predicates would be illegal bean types.
It doesn't matter if you actually "hide" the wildcard inside another parameter type.
Whole type is checked in the end and if you stumble on a wildcard, it should become illegal bean type.

Re: [weld-dev] Propagation of org.jboss.weld.context.ConversationContext.conversations through session failover
by Benjamin Confino
Hello
Based on Allan Zhang's comments I have closed my pull requests and opened
this one https://github.com/weld/core/pull/1990 which is a better match
for the recommendations in the sessionmanagement spec. I still have not
heard back from my customer so I will compile an updated test fix and
chase them up. If they approve, or if they do not reply soon I will create
pull requests for the other branches.

Benjamin

Liberty already has write option of ALL_SESSION_ATTRIBUTES to mark the
property "dirty" but customer wont use it for performance reasons.
The PR fix is following the JEE spec where property "dirty" require
setAttribute() call.
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E13924_01/coh.340/e13819/sessionmanagement.htm
As a general rule, all session attributes should be treated as immutable
objects if possible. This ensures that developers are consciously aware
when they change attributes. With mutable objects, modifying attributes
often requires two steps: modifying the state of the attribute object, and
then manually updating the session with the modified attribute object by
calling javax.servlet.http.HttpSession.setAttribute(). This means that
your application should always call setAttribute() if the attribute value
has been changed, otherwise, the modified attribute value will not
replicate to the backup server.

Hi,
thanks for explanation, I understand the flow now.
However, your suggested PR still looks like a workaround more than a fix
to me.
I doubt Weld is the only case where this will emerge. You can easily store
any collection in session and expect it to behave like we do.
So in the very least, anything of type java.util.Collection that is stored
in session is susceptible to this behaviour.
Shouldn't Liberty consider (at least after restart) any access to a
collection-based session property as an action marking that property
"dirty"?

Propagation of org.jboss.weld.context.ConversationContext.conversations through session failover
by Benjamin Confino
Hello weld
I had a customer report that they were getting conversation not found
exceptions when restarting their server and visiting a url with a ?cid=1
suffix.
After investigation I believe the issue is that weld was acquiring it's
ConversationContext.conversations from the session database via
com.ibm.ws.session.store.db.DatabaseSession.getMultiRowAppData(). Once
weld had retrieved the conversations map it would then decide that since
the map was already in the session attributes there was no need to put it
back into the attributes.
This means that Liberty did not realise the conversations map had been
updated, and did not store it's updated state into the database when the
server shut down again.
I have submitted a pair of pull requests that asks weld to mark the
conversation map as dirty upon access - this behaviour is gated behind
ConfigurationKey.RESET_HTTP_SESSION_ATTR_ON_BEAN_ACCESS - I have tested
it locally and it works. The next step is to prepare a test fix for the
customer to verify. However I wanted to send you this quick note to keep
you in the loop.
Regards
Benjamin
