IIUC, the goal of WebBeans is to unify the component model for the EJB
and Web containers. I can understand the desire for a point-wise
integration but it seems to me that supporting a unified model would
be more beneficial overall. E.g. a bean could then be used as a JAX-RS
resource class, a JSF managed bean and as an EJB session bean. I
haven't been following WebBeans closely so far but from what I've seen
there's very little work required to make an EJB session bean a WebBean.
