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

arjan tijms commented on CDI-452:
---------------------------------

[~marembo2008]

The mentioned opaque security context is not particular to EJB. In fact, CDI already makes use of it by having a build-in bean for {{Principal}}, meaning you can do {{@Inject Principal principal}}. And Servlet containers use the same thing via web.xml constraints and things like {{HttpServletRequest.getUserPrincipal}}.

So nothing of what I mentioned is EJB specific. Even things like {{@RolesAllowed}} are in fact not EJB (they're from Common Annotations, aka JSR 250), and every spec, including CDI can use it. This is also one of the goals of JSR 375 (Java EE Security API).

> {code}
> 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.
