[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-120) Add optional Portlet specification support

[Pete Muir (JIRA)]

     [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-120?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Pete Muir resolved CDI-120.
---------------------------

    Fix Version/s: 1.1.PRD
                       (was: 1.1 (Proposed))
       Resolution: Done


I talked to Neil Griffin (Liferay) and Mike Freedman (Oracle) at JavaOne, and subsequently Ken Finnigan (Red Hat), as well as Bill Shannon (Oracle, Java EE spec lead) about how to move this issue forward.

We came to the conclusion that the CDI spec is not the right place to describe portlet support, and that this would be much better done in the Portlet and Portlet Bridge specifications.

As we don't have revisions of those planned, we agreed that for now we would write up the support as a wiki page that vendors can optionally agree to support.

I've added https://github.com/jboss/cdi/wiki/CDI-Portlet-integration to the CDI wiki, which basically takes all of the changes I proposed for the spec, and makes them into a standalone doc.

Next step is to add JSF specific support to that doc.

> We should mention the portlet specification and how CDI-1.1 should be utilised/supported in a portlet environment.
> This is an important prerequisite for the JSR-344 EG to deprecate the JSF @javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean capabilities.
> Imo there is currently no argument which prevents to run a CDI container from running in a portlet environment anyway. No CDI interface imports any javax.servlet.* class.
> It could affect the wording in 6.5.2. which defines the built in scopes as being 'as defined in the Servlet specification'. We could easily extend this to also cover the portlet definition.
