      Preface

      The CDI specification standardized the process of dependency injection for Java EE, opening the door to efficient integration with components and frameworks for your applications. JBoss Weld is the open source reference implementation for CDI that simplifies the development of applications with dependency injection.

      JBoss Weld CDI for Java Platform will explain dependency injection with JBoss Weld and how you can use it to ensure that your applications take advantage of type safety, making your applications easier to debug and maintain. It is filled with information on what scopes CDI provides for your applications, how to fire and listen to events, creating new beans with producers, interceptors, and decorators, and developing portable extensions.

      JBoss Weld CDI for Java Platform will have you up and running with CDI on JBoss Weld in a short space of time. Once we've covered the main topics of CDI, we will develop a simple application using CDI services with REST endpoints that we connect to from JSF and AngularJS.

      What this book covers

      Chapter 1, What is a Bean?, provides an overview of CDI beans and their history, before explaining how a Java class can be a bean.

      Chapter 2, Dependency Injection and Lookup, explains injection and lookup functions,
