Proposed Agenda

The following agenda was proposed

  1. Feed back on Java EE EG conf call we had on tuesday

  2. Issues discussion : 9 issues where proposed

Feedback on Java EE EG meeting

To sum up :

  • Java EE EG is ok with our MR roadmap :

    • 16th Dec - list of issues complete

    • 6th Jan - Maintenance review starts

    • 7th March - Maintenance review ends

    • 21st March - Maintenance ballot ends

  • According to JCP rules on update, we are going for CDI 1.2 (not 1.1.1)

  • Regarding ticket CDI-370 (Expand @RequestScoped and @SessionScoped to account for WebSocket) we agree that job should be done in Websocket Spec. So asd will work with Stuart Douglas to bring this point to the Websocket EG. The direct consequence for our MR is that CDI-370 is not in and should be closed after we check that Websocket EG got the point on their side.

  • We also talk about classloader issue that were raised during CDI-377 (automatic JSR-330 annotation processing problematic). EG members agreed that it’s a good point but very difficult to resolve. It could only be solve in a major EE release.

Issues discussion

The discussion around the proposed ticket was quite straight forward. The result is in the table below

CDI-381

Additional implementations of Request Context

in MR

we should add general statement telling that extension can change the behavior of built-in scope

CDI-379

out MR

each spec should detail how they stick to built-in scope

CDI-77

Clarify what happens when the user creates a unbound recursive injection with Dependent scoped beans

Container doesn’t have to support this : the ticket should be closed

Conclusion

EG has still 8 issues to discuss (inluding CDI-377). We should close the list as planned on mid-december.
