DeltaSprike home or registry for CDI extensions

[Oliver Gierke <og...@vmware.com>]

Hi all,

the proposal [0] seems to imply that DeltaSpike is not only a registry (the place where one can easily find CDI extensions) for CDI extensions but also requires the extension to actually live at Deltaspike (in terms of source repositories etc.). I have developed CDI extensions for Spring Data JPA and MongoDB repositories and would like to get them listed but don't think it's worth the hassle to move the 3 classes over into an independent project which causes additional maintenance overhead.

So can an extension simply be listed with DeltaSpike assuming it fulfills all requirements (Apache V2 license, available in Maven central etc.)?

Cheers,
Ollie

Hi Oliver, welcome to the DeltaSpike list!


Well, DeltaSpike is a CDI Extension project and not a registry. 

While developing MyFaces CODI, Seam3 and other CDI Extensions most of us quickly recognized that there are a lot of ideas and basic features being implemented over and over again in different projects. DeltaSpike aims to provide a common ground for all those projects.


What we aim to do is to provide a set of CDI Extensions which really run on every CDI container. In the future this will also cover JSF and JPA aspects as well. 

DeltaSpike will also contain a Spring-CDI bridge. Maybe it would fit there? But not sure what the target of the CDIExtensions from VMware is? To provide CDI access to SpringJPA? Does this require a running Spring DI core?


LieGrue,
