Weld + Struts2 + Conversation

[bbviana]

I'm trying to integrate webbeans 1.0 RC1 with Struts 2.
All works well except Conversations.
The problem is this webbeans impl is tied to JSF. So it uses the JSF Conversation impl. Am i right?

Should I use webbeans and any web framework, right?

CDI provides conversation support, not JSF. Anyway, CDI only specifies support for JSF (in other words, when a conversation starts, ends, how it is resumed etc.), however, in Weld we plan to support conversations in other view layers. For example, Clint already has conversation support working for Wicket (see the Wicket integration module). Currently, this does require you to delve into the internals of Weld, as we haven't exposed all the right integration points yet (hard to know what they are until we try!), but we do plan to expose all conversation control points via (a Weld, not CDI) SPI, so other frameworks can integrate.

Great! Do you know when will that SPI extensinon be released?

I intend to do this for the 1.1.0 release.

We have a first shot on Struts 2 CDI integration in the Apache sandbox now. See the annoncement here:
