Ask About Weld extension

[xsalefter.xsalefter.yahoo.com]

Hi.. All. I just get bit confused about weld extension and it's scanning behaviour:

• There is a progess step order for each extension? (for example, BeforeBeanDiscovery is throws before ProcessAnnotatedType, or AfterDeploymentValidation is the last extension events, etc)

• How to give default name to bean instance in weld? For example, I have a class

@View public class PersonDisplayUI extends JFrame {
  private JButton buttonCreate;
}

where View annotation is:

@Inherited
@Target({ElementType.TYPE})
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Documented
@Qualifier
@Named
public @interface View {
    String value() default "";
}

But when I try to get the name, using

<X> void processBean(@Observes ProcessBean<X> pb, BeanManager beanManager) {
  log.info("Process bean: " + pb.getBean().getName());
}

the result is

750 [main] INFO org.xsalefter.sweld.annotation.impl.SweldManager - Process bean: null
750 [main] INFO org.xsalefter.sweld.annotation.impl.SweldManager - Process bean: null
766 [main] INFO org.xsalefter.sweld.annotation.impl.SweldManager - Process bean: null

813 [main] INFO org.xsalefter.sweld.annotation.impl.SweldManager - Process bean: null
813 [main] INFO org.xsalefter.sweld.annotation.impl.SweldManager - Process bean: null

• How to get instance for each declared bean? For example, I want to get the instance of the PersonDisplayUI class in the extension code, get the property (buttonCreate), and register it with an event. Where I should do this? Should I use reflection manually, using getClass().newInstance() etc?

Thanks for your answer.

Ok, I got some info from here . But the next problem is, when I try to use:

NamedLiteral literal = new NamedLiteral(pat.getAnnotatedType().getJavaClass());
for (Bean<?> bean : beanManager.getBeans(Object.class, literal)) {
  System.out.println("Bean bean " + bean);
}

The result print nothing. When I change the code to:

for (Bean<?> bean : beanManager.getBeans(Object.class, AnyLiteral.INSTANCE)) {
  System.out.println("Bean bean " + bean);
}

The result print only weld classes, and no classes in client point of view threated as bean classes. Here some example classes:

@Controller public class PersonController {}
@View public class PersonDisplayUI extends JFrame {}
@View public class PersonInsertUI extends JFrame {}

And Controller and View annotation look like this:

@Inherited
@Target({ElementType.TYPE})
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Documented
@Stereotype
public @interface Controller {
}

@Inherited
@Target({ElementType.TYPE})
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Documented
@Stereotype
public @interface View {
}
