Paul McMahan commented on MYFACES-1246:
---------------------------------------
Apache Geronimo has recently started introducing annotation support, including
resource injection. It is enabled by scanning an application's classloader
during deployment for annotations, adding the resources to JNDI, and then
allowing the various JEE containers to perform the injections by looking up the
resource in JNDI when the object is brought into service. In the case of JSF,
the servlet container (tomcat or jetty) is responsible for finding annotations
when it activates a servlet, filter, or listener and doing the resource
injection or handling @PostConstruct, @PreDestroy, etc.
Since MyFaces 1.2 is now integrated with geronimo/server/trunk it should not be
too difficult to start running some tests with annotations. Also, as Bernd has
pointed out Geronimo provides an annotation spec jar and in fact already adds
it to the classpath for the servlet containers where MyFaces is enabled.
Furthermore, Geronimo/XBean has some utility classes that can be used to
process and discover annotations that could prove useful to MyFaces.
I think Mathias' idea about using an InjectionProvider makes a lot sense since
currently Tomcat 6 (and maybe Jetty) only scans for and processes annotations
in servlets, filters, and listeners. I can help with this item for MyFaces in
Geronimo.

> Specified that implementations running in a JSR-250 compliant container have

> object is instantiated, and after injection is performed, but before the bean
> is placed into scope.
> Specified that methods annotated with @PreDestroy be called when the scope
