Current annotation

[gonorrhea]

According to ref doc, @Current is the default binding type:

If a Web Bean does not explicitly specify a set of binding types, it has exactly one binding type:
the default binding type @Current.

This annotation is used for DI in Web Beans.

For example:

@SessionScoped @Named
public class Login {
@Current Credentials credentials;
...
}

What is the difference between @Current and Seam's @In?  I know that with @In, if you don't specify a particular context/scope to search in for that context variable, then it searches all of them in a certain order.

Does @Current do this as well or is it limited to the current scope and that's the reason for the name change of the injector annotation (i.e. from @In to @Current)?

@Current injects an instance (existing or fresh) of the scope defined by the injected bean

@Current has been removed or replaced by @Inject?  I don't see it here: http://docs.jboss.org/cdi/api/1.0/

Right, there is no more @Current. To the extent that it still exists, it is @Default.

Ok, thx for the clarification.

That means the documentation for Resin 4.0 is out-of-date.
