Since the change in the spec defining that there is a new bean for every bean, we lost the language that disallows: @New @SomeOtherBinding Foo foo; AFAICT it still makes sense to disallow this. So, should that language be there? We also lost the language that disallows specific declaration of a Bean as having @New as a binding type. -- Pete Muir http://www.seamframework.org http://in.relation.to/Bloggers/Pete
