Tomas Remes commented on CDI-567:
---------------------------------

Sorry but I don't understand much. I am not really sure what you would like to achieve. Can you elaborate please (some code example might be helpful)? Can you point me to some extension (as an example) which uses ThreadLocal?

> Need: attach some data to instances
> Solutions (a few I'm thinking about writing these lines):
> - allow CDI extensions to register ClassFileTransformer (or a CDI interface) to modify the bytecode of classes (I like this one since it opens a lot of awesome doors - far more than what is needed for this task feature - and even to make CDI instances not CDI compliant ;) but it is very technical)
> - allow context to handle data associated with their instances (caricaturally: a Map<Instance, Data> would be associated to the context and it would be accessible either from an event - sadly we cant reuse initialized/destroyed ones - or the context itself)
> - extend all beans having a registered "DataEnricher" to be able to handle this and make it inherit from a new interface "DataGetSet" (the name is horrible but it is to share the idea ;))
> Main goal is to get rid of all the ThreadLocals CDI extensions can need when writing not final applications (= make libraries writer's lifes easier) on one side and to make easier to associate a model to an instance on another side (=avoid to redo the same in all extensions).
