I still have some modifications to add before a first review

I am aware of this but I still got to glance at it and thought I might leave some notes for you if you don't mind :)

FTR any chapter numbers I mention below are from your snapshot.

We need to add something akin to Packaging and deployment to Lite part which will describe the way discovery works for Lite
- I think the only proposal we acknowledged as working ATM is the one I wrote to the mailing list, but even if you leave it blank for now, we should have the chapter in place not to forget it
Chapter 2.1.5. Default bean discovery mode is linked to the point above; I agree we want annotated but I don't think we found a way to achieve that in a non-breaking way without stating it in beans.xml
Any and all mentions of beans.xml used for enablement have to be moved into Full (probably a separate chapter that will mention that you can use beans.xml for local enablement?)
- I saw this in chapter about alternatives (2.3.1.1 Declaring selected alternatives) and interceptors (2.6.4 Interceptor enablement and ordering)
Parts of 3.1. Inheritance and specialization need to be moved to Lite; namely the inheritance still holds true for Lite, it is only the specialization that belongs to Full
2.4.7.4. Conversation context lifecycle defines conversation scope/context which should belong to Full
- Same goes for @SessionScoped - according to this doc, we wanted to have it optional (basically not part of Lite by default)
- If the above is true, then perhaps the whole section 2.4.6. Passivation and passivating scopes probably doesn't make much sense in Lite spec part?
[Optional] Adapt code snippets in Lite part to only use scopes we allow there; a lot of examples have session/conversation scopes

manovotn

Added some comments - I will send a PR against your branch with the suggestions I am making here (majority of them).
We also need a placeholder chapter for bean archives (packaging and deployment basically) in Lite which is TBD but we mustn't forget about it.

There are few more point that my PR won't address and that I wanted to bring attention to:

Specialization section should IMO be under Full according to what we agreed on
CDI Full has tons on very small chapters, most of which deal with limitations and deployment exceptions for decorators (and other single feature related topics). I was thinking if it wouldn't be more readable if we were to just create, for example, a decorator chapter and list all the limitations there?
Modularity in Lite currently speaks about explicit bean archives and enabling alternatives per archive. This is IMO wrong and should be mostly moved into Full. WDYT?
Lite needs a section about Packing and deployment. It will re-use part of the text from Full (such as how discovery works for implicit) but even with just

We will also need to state that we don't support @Interceptors in CDI Lite (as previously discussed in various places).
Otherwise we would need to support it as we only inherit what interceptors spec says.

Addressed other comments present here. Also rebased onto master which contained some doc changes causing clashes.

Moved specialization under Full while leaving inheritance rules in Lite.
Changed Modularity to not mention per-archive enablement of alternatives and also remove notion of explicit bean archives - both were moved to Full section.

If you find anything unclear or discover any typos, misplaces chapter etc, let me know and I'll fix that.
Meanwhile, I am trying to change the Full section in some way that would make it more readable (e.g. something like condense all decorator related bits into one chapter).

…ions into one chapter. Add multiple notions of Full - specific rules cak to original chapters and note that this behaviour is not in Lite.

manovotn · 2021-04-29T13:30:26Z

I've added a commit that tries to make the Full part a but more readable. Feedback is welcome including a different way to handle this altogether, this is just my first idea on how to improve it.

What I've done:

Put all decorator-related limitation into a paragraph under decorators
Take several other rules from Full and put then back in Lite but state explicitly that given behavior is related to Full

This drastically reduces the amount of paragraphs and sections needed under Full so that this section can instead fully focus on specifying what features it offers on top of Lite.

…upport inteception declaring with bindings.

manovotn · 2021-05-03T08:49:08Z

Added a commit splitting interceptor chapter into Lite and Full to separate things such as per-archive activation. I have also added a statement into Lite section that eliminates support of @Interceptors in Lite as we only wanted to support resolution based on interceptor bindings.

Ladicek · 2021-05-04T13:16:28Z

I did a comprehensive review of the entire spec and made quite a bit of changes, mostly related to the Lite/Full split. I pushed a commit with all those changes.

I have also liberally (yet carefully) added TODO comments all over the place, so that unfinished parts are easy to find.

I noticed these as well. IMO if the user gets to consume the exact same CDI API jar, then there is little reason to extract this from spec as those literals are simply present, even though their respective annotations are ignored by Lite.

Or you could just separate these two and add them right below, stating that these are related to CDI Full?

This is not only true for CDI 3.0 though. I would say: The CDI version prior to 4.0

Can BeanManagerLite be looked up via jndi lookup at runtime?

I believe we should avoid references to JNDI, as well as other Jakarta EE concepts, in Lite.

(In fact, I briefly thought we should move that JNDI thing to the EE section. I don't know why it's present in "Core CDI", it's clearly EE only and for example can't be used in SE.)

EDIT: I just realized you can have JNDI in SE. I'd still like to avoid references to JNDI in Lite.

I think I raised this question at some earlier comment on the BM Lite PR as well. Technically speaking you can get the BML via JNDI simply because you can get ordinary BM (which extends BML).

That being said, IMO we don't want any specific notion of Lite supporting JNDI in any way.

As discussed, we want to avoid having Lite as part of CDI API names. So I've changed the current proposal of BeanManagerLite to BeanContainer (see #471) and I have also changed all references in this PR to keep it consistent.

 ----

 The operations of `BeanContainer` may be called at any time during the execution of the application.
+// TODO Full has restrictions on when BeanManager methods can be called, do we want to reflect them here in some way?


How about we instead change the The BeanManager object and mention that those rules apply to both, BM and BeanContainer?

That should be implied by

In {cdi_full} environment, BeanContainer is subject to the same rules as BeanManager.

What I'm more thinking about here is: if we're saying that in Lite, BeanContainer can be invoked at any time, that's a superset of what's allowed in Full. Which might be problematic at least from the "Lite is a strict subset of Full" perspective.

Or at least, it might look like a superset. That will depend on how we define the container lifecycle in Lite, which isn't there yet. (In Full, it's defined in the SPI section.)

BeanContainer can be invoked at any time

That's not what you wrote there though. You stated ... at any time during the execution of the application which means after the CDI container is bootstrapped, doesn't it? In other words, in Lite you cannot even try to use BeanContainer earlier.
And so long as you cannot use BeanContainer where you couldn't use BM (from within extensions), you should be good.

Or am I missing something?

Again, "at any time during the execution of the application" depends on how we define lifecycle, which we didn't do yet. If we define it in a way that all initialization phases are considered before application execution, then sure.

I added the TODO here mainly as a reminder, to revisit this section after we define lifecycle. I could have worded it more explicitly, for sure -- sorry about that.
