Summary: Implement @FlowDefinition annotation
Key: MYFACES-3742
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-3742
Project: MyFaces Core
Issue Type: Sub-task
Components: JSR-344
Reporter: Leonardo Uribe
Implement @FlowDefinition cdi annotation, as described in the spec.
I have found this annotation very tricky to implement. It is simple to do it
using @Produces annotation, but the real trouble is we can't use CDI
annotations inside myfaces implementation by the following reasons:
- jar files without beans.xml will not be scanned. If we add the file inside
myfaces jar, CDI will try to scan all classes inside the jar file, and some of
them require optional dependencies. The final effect is CDI will start to throw
errors.
- In some cases, myfaces jars are not on WEB-INF/lib folder, and are just part
of the default libraries of the server, so there is no reference to the files.
The only option is use javax.enterprise.inject.spi.Producer, but
Producer.getInjectionPoints() returns a Set<InjectionPoint> which usually are
customized for the CDI implementation. So, we need to provide an
implementation, but before that, we need to check how that part works to do not
break CDI implementations.
