Hi, As mentioned previously, I've been doing some experimenting with using the above contexts in Web Beans within the Java SE environment. Here are some patches, diffed from the root webbeans directory, which will add support for these contexts to the Web Beans SE Module project, plus modify the Swing SE Numberguess example to use these scopes. The key points are: NUMBERGUESS - A Session is pretty much the whole lifespan of the application, since it's single-user. - A Conversation is a single instance of the game, until it is either won or lost. - A Request is a single button click, and is mostly present to support Conversations using the existing paradigms. - The Game class is now Conversation scoped. No restart() necessary, the NumberGuessFrame simply ends the current conversation when the game is over and starts a new one. - This allows the @Random number to be injected directly into Game for each fresh conversation (rather than injecting the generator and hanging on to it) - NumberGuessFrame injects the current conversation and conversation manager, as well as the JavaSELifecycle, all of which it uses to manage the various contexts (Request, Session and Conversation) - You can see these contexts being started and stopped during the start(), guessButtonActionPerformed() and replayButtonActionPerformed() methods. WEB BEANS SE MODULE - JavaSELifecycle added to help client apps and frameworks manage lifecycle in SE. This would eventually end up in the SPI perhaps, or as a better abstraction of an existing SPI interface. - JavaSEConversationManager is copied from ServletConversationManager and much of the common code should probably be pushed into an abstract class. - WebBeansBootstrap now registers everything except ServletConversationManager and HttpSessionManager when in SE mode. It also registers the new JavaSEConversationManager. I would like to clean up the syntax for starting requests because it's obviously pretty ugly and verbose right now. Maybe some kind of annotation and interceptor pair perhaps? And possibly some Swing-specific helpers to make it easy to attach the Request context to a button click? Making this sort of stuff more transparent is my next goal. Let me know what you think, anyone. Cheers. Pete.
