    Web Beans manager

    gonorrhea

      There are several references to Web Beans manager in the JSR299 spec.


      What exactly is this (I'm assuming it's a component or service that is part of Web Beans core?)


      How can I learn more about this and what component or service (if any) does it relate to in Seam core?

          The Manager is a central component (service?) for looking up stuff, adding Beans, Context, Observers and stuff.


          Seam has a Manager too but I think it's a bit more fluffy ;-)


          Read the 299 specs and browser the Manager implementation (in both WB and Seam) for an overview

            Actually, the Manager in Seam was a conversation manager. The manager of components in Seam was Component. However, it was based on statics and thus not nearly as clean as the Manager design in Web Beans.

              The BeanManager API, which is called Manager in the current spec release, is an SPI for use by third-party frameworks like Seam. It's not mean to be called directly by applications.
