[webbeans-dev] Re: Web beans implementation plan

We now really need to get going on the RI. I've attached the latest draft. Here's a list of tasks in order. Note that we can write tests for each step, without needing stuff from the next step! * basic Manager functionality: resolveByType(), resolveByName(), addBean() * instantiation: getInstance(), getInstanceByType(), getInstanceByName() * basic support for simple Web Beans * specialization * dependent pseudo-context * request and application contexts * injected fields, intializer methods, Web Bean constructors * producer methods * disposal methods * @New * interceptors * decorators * stereotypes * scope adaptors * basic event bus: fireEvent(), addObserver() * observer methods * @Observable Event<X> * Web Bean discovery & initialization event * Java EE integration * session context * basic support for enterprise Web Beans * Web Bean remove methods * passivating scope support ---- ALPHA RELEASE * JMS endpoints * web-beans.xml * conversation context * ejb-jar.xml * support for common annotations ---- BETA RELEASE Obviously, we don't need to do things in *exactly* that order, but I think it's a good overall ordering. I think that most of these tasks are one day or less of work, though some of them, particularly toward the end are more than that. I would like to target the alpha release for this year :-) WDYT? -- Gavin King gavin.king(a)gmail.com http://in.relation.to/Bloggers/Gavin http://hibernate.org http://seamframework.org
