Overview of this book

CDI simplifies dependency injection for modern application developers by taking advantage of Java annotations and moving away from complex XML, while at the same time providing an extensible and powerful programming model. "JBoss Weld CDI for Java Platform" is a practical guide to CDI's dependency injection concepts using clear and easy-to-follow examples. This will help you take advantage of the power behind CDI, as well as providing a firm understanding of how to use it within your applications. "JBoss Weld CDI for Java Platform" covers all the major aspects of CDI, breaking it down into understandable pieces. This book will take you through many examples of how these concepts can be utilized, helping you get up and running quickly and painlessly. "JBoss Weld CDI for Java Platform" gives you an insight into the different scopes provided by CDI and the use cases for which each has been designed. You will learn everything about dependency injection, scopes, events, producers, and more from JBoss Weld CDI, as well as how producers can create new beans for consumption within your application. You will also learn how to build a real world application with CDI using JSF and AngularJS for different web interfaces.

Resolving Weld deployment errors


Weld will abort the deployment of our application and provide helpful error messages in the server log, when it's unable to identify a single bean for each injection point with typesafe resolution. We would expect to see one or more of unsatisfied or ambiguous dependency errors in this situation.

An unsatisfied dependency occurs when there is not a single bean that is eligible for injection into an injection point. This can be resolved as follows:

  • By creating a bean that implements the bean type of the injection point and declares all the qualifier annotations present at the injection point

  • If we already have a bean of the correct bean type and all the qualifier annotations in our application, check whether the bean is on the classpath of the bean archive that contains the injection point with the error

  • With beans.xml, enable an @Alternative bean of the correct bean type and qualifier annotations

An ambiguous dependency occurs when there is more than a single...
