Web Beans is an elegant new component model for Java that draws upon ideas from JBoss Seam and Google Guice. While many of the features provided by Web Beans (dependency injection, contextual lifecycle, configuration, interception, event notification) are familiar, the innovative use of meta-annotations is uniquely expressive and typesafe.
