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 >, &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: > In case 1, it doesn't really make sense to inherit any web beans > metadata to the subtype.

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. In case 2, binding types are inherited. -- Gavin King gavin.king(a)gmail.com http://in.relation.to/Bloggers/Gavin http://hibernate.org http://seamframework.org _______________________________________________ webbeans-dev mailing list webbeans-dev(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/webbeans-dev _______________________________________________ webbeans-dev mailing list webbeans-dev(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/webbeans-dev
