Agenda and Minutes

Formulate a statement for CDI Centric
Write down what it actually means
- Is CDI always available?
- Check with the Servlet specification to see what the implications would be to require Servlets to be CDI Beans. There may be good reasons not to.
  - E.g. Scopes and Interceptors applied to Servlets
    - Use case?
      - CDI based interceptors for security instead of @ServletSecurity
    - Consistency across the platform?
- Focus on the higher level specifications that we want application developers to use. All these should/must embrace CDI
ACTION: Create a document capturing the key decisions: Scott Stark
- What does CDI Centric mean?
ACTION: Make sure more reps from the Servlet team are present at the next monthly call: Ivar will send special invite

Define higher level architectural requirements
Encourage individual component specifications to release faster
- Usually, they’re working toward the next Jakarta EE release
Platform specification will pick up specifications that are ready (and qualifies according to the arch reqs)
Poll specification projects for their plans? (topic for next month’s call)
- Can feed into a release plan
