[cdi-dev] Resolving CDI-129

[Mark Struberg]

Hi Pete!

I'm perfectly fine with the vote. 

I'm also fine with both interpretations of @ApplicationScoped at the end. I actually don't care too much as it would be easy to just provide an own Context for javax.faces.bean ApplicationScoped.


What I DO care about are the visibility rules. Once we deal with scopes broader than 1-per-war (or more generally speaking a scope which is shared over multiple classloaders which don't see each other) and we interpret 5.1 in the way Jozef does than

* any bean defined in a shared lib will not be able to see beans in any webapp. And this even regardless of the scope, even @RequestScoped and @SessionScoped beans defined in an WAR would not be visible. 

* no class defined in a WAR file would get *any* CDI event originating in a class which is in a shared lib. 

* if you write @Inject User user; you will end up with a different contextual instance than the same code @Inject User user; in a class which is in a shared lib jar.


* Extension Rules are ambiguous for anything > 1-per-war

* BeanManager#getBeans(String ), #getBeans(Type, Qualifiers), #resolve(), etc must get fixed

* Alternatives, Decorators, Interceptors and Specializes in WARs would not work for any classes defined in a shared lib.


If people can live with that, then so be it. Currently it's not possible to write portable applications for EAR scenarios it seems so I really like to address that in CDI-1.1.


By using the TCCL as OWB does currently  (and even Weld/JBossAS as far as my tests showed) we could avoid those shortcoming at least for all @NormalScoped beans.

We've already seen that an an open poll of the community has been indecisive (I'm unwilling to take such a small margin on this, as it's hard to know how representative a sample we took!). This, I think, leaves us with two options:
