[jakartaee-platform-dev] Pruning managed beans from the component specs

[Arjan Tijms <arjan.tijms@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

We removed the managed beans spec from the platform. However, we still have several specs referencing it. From the top of my head, REST, Servlets and Faces still have lingering references to them.

Servlet is even a special case, perhaps. It supports (according to the managed bean spec) @Inject and @PostConstruct, but there are not yet plans to make Servlets CDI beans instead. REST and Faces do have those plans.

Do we (at the platform level) want to set a mandate or strong recommendation that all specs abandon usage of managed beans, and move to CDI (when running inside an EE container, as not all always specs do)?

Thoughts?

Kind regards,

Arjan Tijms
