Re: JSR-299 (Web Beans) Implementation In Shale?

2006-07-28 Thread Matthias Wessendorf

I am late on a reply, but I am also interested in the implementation stuff.

and 303 sounds interesting. From what I know is that Mario (MyFaces)
and Nial (struts) are going to join that JSR.

David: welcome back :)

+1.  All I know about JSR-299 so far is that it is inspired by Seam.   
All I know about Seam is what I heard from Gavin's session at  
JavaOne, and I have to admit it was pretty compelling.

The world of JSF add-ons and extensions is getting pretty crowded, and I
like the idea of Shale being a one-stop-shop for high-quality extensions and
tools for JSF. Often people ask me what about Shale, and what _is_ Seam? 

Also, it'd be nice to have a WebBeans implementation that doesn't have any
(real or imagined) ties to the JEMS product line. 

P.S. I've been pretty quiet on this list, but I do follow Shale and provide
training for it.

Seam is very cool. I have a Seam CRUD demo in one of my NFJS sessions that's
a big attention-getter.
