[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - Re: Web Beans Sneak Peek

I found it would be more meaningful this way. Or maybe the @Named attribute has other uses which requires it to be separate? 

There are many component type annotations (@Component, @Standard, and all the user-defined component types). It doesn't make sense to re-declare the name attribute each time we create a new component type.

And please compare:

@Component(name="foo")
  | @Component @Name("foo")

The only difference is a single space.

anonymous wrote : In the example that you give in part 4 about how to use injection in resolver method, wouldn't it be better to instantiate the component through the Web Beans API instead of having the container inject 3 values and in the end only using one of them? 

You can do that if you like. It will look like:

Component<Foo> comp = container.resolveByType(Foo.class);
  | Foo foo = container.getContext(comp.getScope()).get(comp)

anonymous wrote : It probably is too soon to discuss this but are there any plans to replace Seam's component model with Web Beans? I know that some features/behaviour of the Seam component model might be missing from the Web Beans specification but is the ultimate goal the one day use it in Seam? 

The current Seam codebase will evolve into the Web Beans RI. Then non-standardized features of Seam will be layered over the Web Beans standard.
