[cdi-dev] inheritance of cdi scopes

I've read through the spec page to page yet one more time. I don't see anything that suggests this is anything more than a bug in a likely poorly implemented RI and TCK. I'll test this case along with other things that should also work like the security, JNDI and EJB contexts.
I'll file bugs accordingly and see if I can get them fixed. I am unlikely to use this in a justification for a revision of EE concurrency. Frankly other than fixing the bugs and maybe adding a few more associated TCK tests I see no reason to change the spec text any further. It already states or implies that these things should be working. If we end up launching a revision I'll consider adding clarifying text as a low priority task.
For me, this is the end of the line on this one for now.

As an implementer it should not surprise you that this might simply be a bug because the person implementing the concurrency utilities for the EE runtime was not told about what to copy over into the new thread for CDI to work correctly.

Even if you want ro read - which is more than ambiguous and up to impl so not portable in any case - that request context is correctly handled, same use case is broken if you keep the servlet synchronous and trigger an async task from there using CU. There CDI clearly states the request scope is destroyed and in practise likely before the async task ends so the issue is real.

It is supposed to copy over everything from the underlying thread local context into the new thread for all EE managed components to function. Since CDI beans are also EE container managed, it also applies to CDI beans as well. The EE vendor is supposed to make sure this works properly.

So to solve it we would need another scope as I mentionned several times on this list 100% matching servlet instances lifecycles (on a pure CDI side we have the same issue for sessions which are recycled during a request, the session scope is corrupted *by spec* in term of user behavior).

This means the issue needs to be solved at the individual implementation level. Changing anything in the spec is probably just unnecessary ceremony in this case.

CDI still prevent it to work since it would violate the spec to propagate it while request scope is bound to another thread (http://docs.jboss.org/cdi/spec/1.1/cdi-spec.html#request_context handles async listener but not the main AsyncContext part).

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.

From my understanding ee concurrency utilities was done in a time CDI was not there so it just ignored it somehow and it hasnt been updated when integrated to the spec. Now with the wording of the CDI - and TCK - it is impossible to make it working since request scope is bound the thre request thread - and not the request. Side note: same applies to session scope and conversation.

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.
