Hmmm … it might be worth looking at using Orchestra without Spring. Guice is not an option for your clients either, is it?
If you do not use Spring, you also do not use its persistence capabilities ;-) So then, using a CGLIB based (or whatever enhancer lib) approach which simply enhances the beans in a way which is required by Orchestra might be enough. Sure, we can not yet use the faces-config.xml to configure the managed beans for Orchestra. But probably we can introduce something like a orchestra-config.xml for the scope and managed bean configuration. @community: What do you think? Is it worth it? Ciao, Mario Von: Kito Mann [mailto:kito.m...@virtua.com] Gesendet: Dienstag, 07. Juli 2009 23:45 An: MyFaces Development Betreff: Re: Shale Annotations The problem with using Orchestra is that it requires Spring, which is an extra "framework" that some organizations don't necessarily need. Although JSF managed beans aren't that great, sometimes they're a better choice than integrating Spring into the project. --- Kito D.

It does many of the thing the shale tiger extensions used to do (and even includes lots of useful features). You have the Orchestra view controller annotations and if you want more annotations, you can use the Spring ones to register backing beans and so on...
