[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-452) Specify that web scoped (request, session, application) beans are injectable in async servlets

[John Ament (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-452?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13257048#comment-13257048 ] 

John Ament commented on CDI-452:
--------------------------------

[~edburns] I just want to confirm.  Your expectation here is that you can bridge the existing request context/session context from the servlet request in to the new async thread, allowing the same instances of the beans (and in turn, their data) to be accessed in both threads.

If so, what synchronization would you expect, if any, to be provided by the CDI container?  Or would you prefer to leave it to the developer to handle synchronization concerns?

> According to Jozef Hartzinger, this currently does not work, because only @Dependent and @ApplicationScoped beans are propagated to the new thread.  To keep CDI relevant in light of the reactive programming movement and the popularity of node.js, we need to make this work.
