[cdi-dev] Fwd: [jsr342-experts] request scope for Web Sockets?

The way I found to integrate WebSockets with other technologies, is by 
using CDI Events.

I've blogged about it here (integration between WS and JMS):
- 
https://blogs.oracle.com/brunoborges/entry/integrating_websockets_and_jms_with

I've also played around with JAX-RS 2.0 (receiving @GET messages and 
sending to WS endpoints using CDI Events).

IMO, this is great and works fine, but does not remove the need for a 
@MessageScope or some other fix in the WS spec, or the CDI spec.
