#OpenWebbeans
## Introduction
 As of Version 1.0.4 Ext-Scripting has introduced basic openwebbeans support.
 This support is considered to be experimental so use it with care.
 
 This means you can define CDI Beans within the supported scripting languages
 and you can provide dynamic reloading (in a more simplified manner)
 to OWB.
 
 The reloading is different to standard JSF due to CDI limitations, in case
 of a changed bean the entire container is reloaded instead of the bean
 and its dependencies. This has to be taken into consideration if you use
 the OWB support module.
 
 Also Ext-Scripting OWB is an extension module, it is not part of the core distribution you get
 if you include theextscript-myfaces20-bundle.
 So a separate include of the OWB support
 module extscript-cdi
 is needed.
 
## Setup
 To setup the OWB support module, you have to drop the extscript-cdi.jar into your
 WEB-INF/lib or you have to add following code into maven.
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.myfaces.extensions.scripting</groupId>
        <artifactId>extscript-cdi</artifactId>
        <version>1.0.5</version>
    </dependency>
                    
 And of course OpenWebbeans must be properly present, either via the app server
 or simply by a Maven include.
 No further setup needs to be done for the OWB integration, all other configuration
 entries stay the same.
 
## Example Project
 An Example Kickstarter project has been provided which shows the capabilities of the
 plugin.
 You can use it as kickstarter for your own OWB based Ext-Scripting projects.
 It can be found under
 extscript-examples/cdi-example
 from the root
 dir of the project.
 You can start it with mvn
 jetty:run-exploded
 and you can edit the files in the
 target/&lt;webappname;gt;/WEB-INF...
 folder on the fly.
 
 
#Spring
## Introduction
 As of version 1.0.5 basic spring support has been provided to Ext-Scripting.
 This support is considered to be experimental so use it with care.
 
 Spring support means you can define Spring Beans within the supported scripting languages
 and you can provide dynamic reloading to Spring.
 
 Also Spring support is an extension module, it is not part of the core distribution you get
 if you include theextscript-myfaces20-bundle.
 So a separate include of the Spring support
 module extscript-spring
 
## setup
 To setup the Spring support you have to add following dependencies:
 
 Either the extscript-spring.jar to your project additionally to the
 Ext-Script bundle jar.
 
 Or add following to your Maven configuration file:
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.myfaces.extensions.scripting</groupId>
        <artifactId>extscript-spring</artifactId>
        <version>1.0.5</version>
    </dependency>
                    
 And of course Spring must be properly present, either via the app server
 or simply by a Maven include.
 
 Also following parameter must be added to your web.xml:
    <listener>
        <!-- this listener class enables our spring reloading -->
        <listener-class>
            org.apache.myfaces.extensions.scripting.spring.context.CompilationAwareContextLoaderListener
        </listener-class>
    </listener>
                    
 
## Example Project
 An Example Kickstarter project has been provided which shows the capabilities of the
 plugin.
 You can use it as kickstarter for your own OWB based Ext-Scripting projects.
 It can be found under
 extscript-examples/spring-example
 from the root
 dir of the project.
 You can start it with mvn
 jetty:run-exploded
 and you can edit the files located under the
 target/&lt;webappname;gt;/WEB-INF...
 folder on the fly.
