[webbeans-dev] Fwd: static producers

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Gavin King <gavin(a)hibernate.org&gt; Date: Fri, Nov 14, 2008 at 12:50 PM Subject: static producers To: Java Community Process JSR #299 Expert List <JSR-299-EG(a)jcp.org&gt; Question: should we allow producer methods and fields to be declared "static"? This would mean that the Web Bean manager does not need to instantiate an instance of the Web Bean that declares the producer method/field when invoking the method/field. I can't think of a good reason why *not*... Furthermore, should we allow static observer and disposal methods? Again, I can't quite think of a reason why *not*... -- Gavin King gavin.king(a)gmail.com http://in.relation.to/Bloggers/Gavin http://hibernate.org http://seamframework.org -- Gavin King gavin.king(a)gmail.com http://in.relation.to/Bloggers/Gavin http://hibernate.org http://seamframework.org
