Class BridgeExtension

java.lang.Object

com.liferay.faces.bridge.servlet.BridgeExtension

All Implemented Interfaces:

javax.enterprise.inject.spi.Extension

public class BridgeExtension
extends java.lang.Object
implements javax.enterprise.inject.spi.Extension

This class is a CDI Extension that registers GenericFacesPortlet as an @ApplicationScoped bean. This is necessary in order for a JSF portlet to be registered as a Portlet 3.0 "bean" portlet via CDI. An alternative approach would be to have a META-INF/beans.xml descriptor in the FacesBridge API jar. But this has at least three drawbacks: 1) From a Liferay perspective, when the FacesBridge API jar is deployed to $LIFERAY_HOME/osgi/modules, Liferay's CDI+OSGi integration can't find javax.faces.GenericFacesPortlet during classpath scanning. 2) If the FacesBridge is bundled in WEB-INF/lib, LPS-103984 would prevent the META-INF/beans.xml descriptor from setting bean-discovery-mode="annotated". Because of this, bean-discover-mode="all" would be required, which means that all classes in the JAR would become CDI beans. 3) It would be highly irregular to have a META-INF/beans.xml descriptor in an API JAR.
