CanDI and Resin

[asookazian]

So I was just on the www.caucho.com site and downloaded Resin Pro 4.0.2.  Apparently there's a Windows version (I downloaded the zip, not the tar) but don't see any foo.bat file in the distro.

Am I missing something?  I see only a resin.sh in the bin directory...

Anyways, what are some major differences b/n Weld and CanDI?

[09-11-24 15:35:25.417] {main} Resin[id=] started in 1781ms

so that's impressive compared to JBoss startup time. 

This is a very good example: http://localhost:8080/resin-doc/examples/ioc-binding/index.xtp this covers the CDI design patterns I was asking about in a separate thread.

The @Current annotation tells Resin to look for a Hello component in the Java Injection repository.

Isn't @Current no longer in the CDI API or is that a EE6 annotation?

The @com.caucho.config.Name annotation tells Resin to lookup the greeting String in Java Injection directory using Resin's internal @Name binding 'greeting' when the session bean is created.

Won't @com.caucho.config.Name be possibly confused with @javax.inject.Named?

Resin will create a stub implementing Hello and store it in the Java Injection directory with type Hello and name @Name(HelloBean).

What exactly is the Java Injection directory in CDI-spec terminology equivalent?

Another similar reference in a beans.xml file:

<beans xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee">
  <!--
     - META-INF/beans.xml is used as a marker to tell Resin to scan all
     - classes in the directory tree for Java Injection beans.  The matching
     - beans will be available for injection using @javax.inject.Current
     -
     - Simply place this file in a META-INF directory under your classes
     - directory or in your jar file.
    -->
</beans>

Is the following true?:

Java Injection beans = CDI managed beans

These questions are probably best suited for their forums but my guesses

• They are probably in the process of migrating their impl to the lastest spec version.


• JID is probably container or context


• JI Beans is probably CDI managed beans
