NEW ISSUE: Autowire at the domain-level

["Michael Rowley" <mrowley@bea.com>]

 

RAISER: Michael Rowley

 

TARGET: SCA Assembly Specification section 6.4.2 Autowire

 

DESCRIPTION:

 

Assume that a component is deployed at the domain level has a reference that has been marked to be resolved by autowire.  If a new component is deployed later that qualifies as a target for the autowire, will the existing component now target the new component?  The specification could:

- Require that the runtime handle such dynamic changes and effect such changes onto existing component references.

- Allow that some runtimes may freeze the results of autowire at the time the client component is deployed, while others will treat the autowiring as dynamic.

- Allow some runtimes to completely disallow autowiring for domain-level components.

 

PROPOSAL:

 

None.
