they can be provided by containers, but first a common interface is needed. this is what seam-conversation does. cdi 1.1 will most likely have something like this baked in, but for now we have to use this. > Doesn't glassfish (haven't looked at their license, might be *yuk* > GPL), or Geronimo or OpenEJB provide the required functionality? the functionality is different between each container impl. glassfish uses weld underneath. > Looking at the code, isn't it rather semi trivial to create our own > implementation of the Seam conversation functionality? It didn't look > like much algorithmic magic, but rather setting things up. i dont mind writing something for weld, we have that code over here anyways. but, i do not want to provide impls for other cdi containers. the advantage of seam-conversation is that it has plugins for other containers. if we are OK supporting only Weld as CDI container i can rewrite and simplify the code. i dont mind doing that until cdi 1.1 comes out... -igor > > Martijn
