Don't forget that JSF entails more than just managed beans. It also included event listeners, phase listeners (and perhaps others I'm not thinking of). JSF is really been such a problem child in this respect. Is there something we can push for in the JSF spec to make this type of integration easier? For instance, I don't believe that listeners in JSF are managed, but perhaps they should be (support @PostConstruct, @PreDestory and resource injection...hence that would include 299 injections as well). -Dan On Mon, Jul 20, 2009 at 11:53 AM, Pete Muir <pmuir(a)redhat.com&gt; wrote: Hi Kabir, Jason, As I mentioned, 299 requires that we inject any "Java EE components classes supporting injection" with 299 dependencies: * Servlet - servlets, servlet filters, event listeners * JSP tag handlers, tag library event listeners * JSF scoped managed beans * JAX-WS service endpoints, handlers * EJB beans, interceptors * Java EE platform main class (static) * login callback handler Ales and I propose we do this via enabling 299 injection into MC supported component models where possible. Some (e.g. JSF) won't work, and will need other integration... How far are all of these from being MC enabled? How do we want to create JIRA issues for these to be done? Note, I'm still missing the impl for this, but the API is something like: // for each class supporting injection InjectionTarget it = beanManager.createInjectionTarget(type); // for each instance requiring injection it.inject(instance, beanManager.createCreationalContext(null)); // postconstruct hook it.postConstruct(instance); it.preDestroy(instance); _______________________________________________ webbeans-dev mailing list webbeans-dev(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/webbeans-dev -- Dan Allen Senior Software Engineer, Red Hat | Author of Seam in Action Registered Linux User #231597 http://mojavelinux.com http://mojavelinux.com/seaminaction http://in.relation.to/Bloggers/Dan _______________________________________________ webbeans-dev mailing list webbeans-dev(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/webbeans-dev

Also it's worth pointing out that the JSF RI's SPI only supports injection for managed beans, not other objects. Right, that's what I'm getting at. The list is accurate for the current situation. I'm going to open a discussion on the JSF EG about making those other objects managed in the future...as it will help with portability and make life easier for the developer, I think. -Dan -- Dan Allen Senior Software Engineer, Red Hat | Author of Seam in Action Registered Linux User #231597 http://mojavelinux.com http://mojavelinux.com/seaminaction http://in.relation.to/Bloggers/Dan
