WebBeans applies to all application layers though I guess you could integrate it with Spring or Guice should that be needed. But Web Beans is just a DI container.

Hi there,
Looks promising !
By the way, I want to mention that you can achieve this using Spring 2.5, but the bottleneck is configuration (you have to add two Spring listeners in web.xml, declare Spring el-resolver in faces-config.xml, some gore stuff in applicationContext.xml), bu once that done, it’s a joy:

@Controller(“sthng”)
@Scope(“session”)
public class Something {
…
}

and the in a JSF page:

#{sthng.somField}

BTW, does WebBeans extend to all application layers ? I mean with Spring I can manage also my DAOS and my Service layer le DI betwwen them. But I guess WebBeans are limited to the Controller/View layer …

Cheers :D

@Stefan: Yes it will. It makes development of a web layer below a UI toolkit much easier.

Can not believe you found this. Once it is final it will simplify web development a lot – especially for larger applications.

Thanks for the hint!

Yeah, well, we’re not very good at self-promotion :)

Stephan, if you get some time, it would be great if you can report the problems at http://bugs.caucho.com. Some of these things are easy to fix, but just hit a blind spot in our testing.

Yes, at Caucho a lot of things seem to happen, all of them under the radar (except sometimes glimpses like the TerraCotta enabled Quercus Drupal version by Bob I think). Currently playing with a Web Beans enabled Jersey. Nice stuff.

I’m astonished too…
How come this implementation went under the radar like that?
Great news, finally being able to play with this Web Beans!
