Roadmap

Some ideas and planning for further releases:

Rewrite 4.0.0

• Drop Java 6 support
• Drop Servlet 2.5 support
• Remove old integration test profiles (tomcat, jetty)
• ...

Future

• Remove custom annotation scanning code as it doesn't work well in certain class loading scenarios (Spring Boot, jetty-maven-plugin, etc). Ideas:
  • Use a shaded version of reflections
  • Use ServletContainerInitializer???
• Merge the handling of @Deferred into the handlers of @Parameter and @RequestAction. This allows to:
  • Auto-detect whether action has to be deferred (check scope annotations)
  • Code gets much simpler in this case
  • Optional: Dramatically simplify the annotation handler API by removing the handler chain
