[cdi-dev] @ThreadScoped?

[Romain Manni-Bucau]

Hi guys,

following request scope thread and to center the discussion on the thread
safety part: do we work on this?

Background: @RequestScoped is often used as a ThreadLocal instance
solution. A lot of SE or Batch implementations rely on it from what I saw
as well as async implementations reusing existing business logic with this
thread safety constraint.

Proposal: providing a @ThreadScoped implementation is cheap for CDI and
implemenation and would avoid the headache we can have with @RequestScoped.
Will also remove the quite dark side of the spec regarding servlet request
and request scope since now we would have a more natural solution for all
of these situation so @RequestScoped goals wouldn't collide as much.

Questions:
- is it automatically started as request scoped is (JMS, @Async, ...)?
Alternative could be some configuration in beans.xml (merged accross the
app):

<beans>
  <scopes>
    <thread>
      <active>JMS</active>
      <active>ASYNCHONOUS</active>
    </thread>
  </scopes>
</beans>

- start/stop API (this is typically an API the user should be able to
control for its own threads)
- CDI 2.*0*?

wdyt?
