[cdi-dev] inheritance of cdi scopes

[Reza Rahman]

This frankly surprises me. I'll check the specification text. This might indeed just be an implementation bug. The EE concurrency utilities are supposed to be copying all relevant context. If this is an issue than it has to be that it is not copying enough of the HTTP request context for CDI to work.

Surely the Red Hat folks can quickly shed some light here since they implement essentially this whole stack?

There is a kind of contracdiction there cause concurrency-utilities doesn't integrate with CDI at all but we can also see it the opposite way: CDI doesn't provide any way to propagate a context in another thread. Both point of view are valid so we need to see where we tackle it.

It would be neat - and mandatory in some case by the loose coupling nature of CDI - to get the *same* MyBean *instance* in this thread. With a direct dependency you can easily use message passing pattern - but you loose the loose coupling cause you need to know until which level you unwrap, think t principal case which has 2-3 proxies!. However in practice you have a lot of undirect dependencies, in particular with enterprise concerns (auditing, security...) so you can't really do it easily/naturally.
