Weld and EE 6 web profile

[asookazian]

I noticed that in jboss-6.0.0-SNAPSHOT, the web profile does not have the weld deployer in the deployers directory like it is in default profile.

What's the reason for this?  and does this mean we can't deploy the Weld distro example apps to the web profile?

I see ejb3.deployer in the web profile...

this is somewhat dated: http://blogs.webtide.com/janb/entry/java_ee_6_web_profile but which option for the web profile did the EG end up going with?  I'm assuming something closer to option A...

The basic web profile has these APIs: Servlet 3.0, JSP 2.2, JSR-45 (Debugging Support for Other Languages), EL 1.2, JSTL 1.2, and JSR-250 (Common Annotations for the Java Platform).

The controversial elements for inclusion are: EJB 3.1 (Lite), JTA 1.1, JPA 2.0, JSF 2.0, and Web Beans 1.0. Roberto points out two points: Web Beans and JSF 2.0 inclusion are fairly controversial, and on EJB 3.1:

IMO, it seems that CDI/Weld should be included in web profile...

so why isn't the weld.deployer in the web profile (server/web/deployers) in JBoss 6??

I'm not familiar with the server structure of JBoss 6 but just because there is a configuration named web, I don't think it means it would be the web profile. Since JBoss 6 will be a full EE 6 server, I don't even think(tm) they will have a separated server for web profile

Actually I think the first JBoss 6 releases will be a web profile only.

Arbi, a JBoss AS profile has nothing to do with a Java EE platform profile.

ok, so I made a horrible assumption.  how would I be able to detect that the instance of jboss I started (all, default, web, etc.) is a web profile or not?  assuming in the server.log or console??

Arbi, a JBoss AS "profile" has nothing to do with a Java EE platform "profile".

Hi Gavin

are you sure about that? Actually the default profile of AS6M1 seams to be a full JEE profile and web seams to be a (JEE6 Web profile)

I think I read about that someone in the past?!

No I'm not 100% sure. I'll check with Jason.

No, Jason says that the web dir in AS is not an EE 6 web profile.

Well, I found the reason I was thinking about that in a post from Jason in the past!

The web config is a new experimental lightweight configuration created around JBoss Web that will follow the developments of the JavaEE 6 web profile. Except for the servlet/jsp container it provides support for JTA/JCA and JPA. It also limits itself to allowing access to the server only through the http port. Please note that this configuration is not JavaEE certified and will most likely change in the following releases.

Maybe it was created as JEE6 web profile in the past and the AS team has changed there minds? This statement is rather old so this might be realistic to has been changed! :-)
