[weld-dev] @Inject FacesContext

[Siarhei Dudzin]

Hi,

I don't post much here but I felt obliged to comment on this thread.

I have to agree with Dan. This probably will one of the most used
injections.

The reason for injection is to be able to stub and unit test easily. Right
now the getCurrentInstance() is static and you'd need to use ugly
constructions to replace it with a stub (I am not saying it's impossible but
I am talking here from the feedback I've gathered and personal experience
when unit testing pure JSF). Note, I am talking about 'true' unit testing
with no container involved.
If faces context will be injectable it will make many people happy :)

Just my 2 cents...

Best regards,
Siarhei Dudzin
