Re: [webbeans-dev] Re: Patterns of reuse

  How embarassing, the first time I send a message to this list I accidently send it before I was done writing, sorry.... ---------------   I would maybe call the third case a 'subBean".   I have also run into a problem regarding decorators of 'subBeans'. The problem is that if I create a decorator of a subBean then I currently have no way of calling methods in the 'superBean'.   I imagine that the spec may have to be extended with a DI annotation like @SuperBean (@SuperBean like the @Decorates annotation only it is set to a reference that delegates calls to the superBean instead of the the next method in the current stack of interceptors for the subBean). @SuperBean would be used somelike this this...   public interface BaseType {     public String getDescription(); } public class SubType extends BaseType { } @Decorator public BaseTypeImpl implements BaseType {      public String getDescription() { return "BaseType"; } } @Decorator public SubTypeImpl implements SubType {      @SuperBean superBean;      public String getDescription() { return superBean.getDescription()+":SubType"; }   So, the following expressions should be true...   Bean baseTypeBean= ....; Bean superTypeBean= ....   baseTypeBean.create().getDescription().equals("BaseType"); superTypeBean.create().getDescription().equals("BaseType:SubType");        --- On Thu, 11/27/08, Gavin King <gavin(a)hibernate.org&gt; wrote: From: Gavin King <gavin(a)hibernate.org&gt; Subject: [webbeans-dev] Re: Patterns of reuse To: "Java Community Process JSR #299 Expert List" <JSR-299-EG(a)jcp.org&gt;, "Matt Drees" <matt.drees(a)gmail.com&gt;, "Scott Ferguson" <ferg(a)caucho.com&gt;, &quot;webbeans-dev(a)lists.jboss.org&quot; <webbeans-dev(a)lists.jboss.org&gt; Date: Thursday, November 27, 2008, 4:34 PM On Thu, Nov 27, 2008 at 4:09 PM, Gavin King <gavin(a)hibernate.org&gt; wrote: Minor clarification: in case 3, it does not make sense to inherit binding types - rather, the user should be forced to *explicitly* redeclare the binding types.
