    CDI and Managed Beans spec

      following is from JEE6 tutorial:



      CDI is specified by JSR-299, which was formerly known as Web Beans. Related specifications that CDI uses include the following:




      • JSR-330, Dependency Injection for Java








      • The Managed Beans specification that is an offshoot of the Java EE 6 platform specification (JSR-316)





      What JSR is Managed Beans spec?  I can't find it here.

          Hi Arbi just read your own post carefully. It is part of JSR 316. Look here for download JSR 316

            Thanks.  I was assuming it would have its own JSR...

              Managed Beans offer a lightweight component model aligned with the rest of the Java EE Platform.

              Lightweight sure does seem to be an important keyword in EE6: EJB Lite, web profile (slimming and pruning), etc.



              At the same time, their lightweight nature makes them a natural starting point to encapsulate application functionality, with the knowledge that they can be morphed into more powerful components if and when the need occurs.

              basically implying that you can upgrade to less-light EJB components...
