[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-114) Allow registration of beans at runtime

[Vincent Massol (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-114?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13365893#comment-13365893 ] 

Vincent Massol commented on CDI-114:
------------------------------------

{quote}So you have multiple 'apps' already running as each of your Wiki-namespace is essentially an own 'app' from a CDI pov, right?{quote}

Not sure. Basically we have a Root Component Manager containing components seen by all namespaces (ie all wikis) and then each subwiki have their own Wiki Component Manager that contain components only seen by those subwikis (so in addition to the components located in the Root Component Manager).

{quote}Would it be possible to bootstrap a new namespace instance and then just swapping out the original one with the freshly booted one? Looks much cleaner to me.{quote}

So you're essentially saying the same thing as what was said earlier but with even most cost in term of performance, no? I.e recreate the classloaders (the root one and the wiki ones affected by the new component/bean being added) + reinitialize CDI (ie scanning and bean resolving), every time a new component is to be added at runtime.

I don't know the performance of such an option but as I mentioned, we do have thousands and thousands of components/beans loaded, with some have initialization steps. IMO that would really be overkill in term of performance. Also in XWiki it's not that unfrequent to add new components at runtime. For example users can creates new macros as script in wiki pages and underneath they get registered as proper components/beans.

Thanks

> I have use cases where I need to register a bean dynamically at runtime (see the forum reference link for a detailed description of the use case).
