4. 4@agoncal
What is CDI ?
● Dependency injection
● Lose coupling, strong typing
● Context management
● Interceptors and decorators
● Event bus
● Extensions

8. 8@agoncal
Demos with JBoss Forge
● Java EE scaffolding tool
● Shell commands
● CRUD application
● Gets you start quickly

10. Dependency Injection

11. 11@agoncal
How Do I ?

12. 12@agoncal
Use @Inject !

13. 13@agoncal
@Inject on Attributes
public class BookBean implements Serializable {
@Inject
private NumberGenerator numberGenerator;
@Inject
private ItemService itemService;
// ...
}

14. 14@agoncal
@Inject on Constructor
public class BookBean implements Serializable {
private NumberGenerator numberGenerator;
private ItemService itemService;
@Inject
public BookBean(NumberGenerator numberGenerator,
ItemService srv){
this.numberGenerator = numberGenerator;
this.itemService = srv;
}
// ...
}

15. 15@agoncal
@Inject on Setters
public class BookBean implements Serializable {
private NumberGenerator numberGenerator;
private ItemService itemService;
@Inject
public void setNumberGenerator(NumberGenerator numGen){
this.numberGenerator = numGen;
}
@Inject
public void setItemService(ItemService itemService) {
this.itemService = itemService;
}
// ...
}

16. 16@agoncal
Activate CDI
● In CDI 1.0 beans.xml in archive
● Since CDI 1.1 it's activated by default
●
All classes having a bean definition annotation
● beans.xml to deactivate or activate all
●
Archive vs Bean archive
