Fwd: [webbeans-dev] Terminology

From: Michael Rotatori <rotatori(a)sbcglobal.net&gt; Date: 3 December 2008 14:08:19 GMT To: Pete Muir <pmuir(a)redhat.com&gt; Subject: Re: [webbeans-dev] Terminology Reply-To: rotatori(a)sbcglobal.net I think it should be kept as Web Bean. LIke you said, it sounds like a new model. It needs to be separate from an ejb bean name. --- On Wed, 12/3/08, Pete Muir <pmuir(a)redhat.com&gt; wrote: From: Pete Muir <pmuir(a)redhat.com&gt; Subject: Re: [webbeans-dev] Terminology To: "Gavin King" <gavin(a)hibernate.org&gt; Cc: &quot;webbeans-dev(a)lists.jboss.org&quot; <webbeans-dev(a)lists.jboss.org&gt;, "Java Community Process JSR #299 Expert List" <JSR-299-EG(a)jcp.org&gt;, "Scott Ferguson" <ferg(a)caucho.com&gt; Date: Wednesday, December 3, 2008, 6:40 AM On 24 Nov 2008, at 13:06, Gavin King wrote: > I've had a few discussions with a certain EE vendor who is concerned > that the use of the "Bean" terminology sends the message that Web > Beans is a separate component model that competes with EJB.

Here's my suggestion: > > Web Bean -> injectable type > simple Web Bean -> injectable java class > enterprise Web Bean -> session bean > Web Bean instance -> injectable instance / instance of an injectable > type This seems quite fragmented to me, I guess I would go for something like: Web Bean -> injectable bean Simple Web Bean -> injectable JavaBean Enterprise Web Bean -> session bean Web Bean instance -> injectable bean instance or just bean instance This means we loose the proper noun (Web Bean) which I think is what makes it sounds more like a new model, but to me seems more consistent with Java terminology. > > > WDYT?
