RI is also available
We also provide a pre-release for the RI and API, thus You can start testing CDI 2.0 with Weld 3.0 CR1 that you can download here.
To develop your CDI 2.0 code just switch cdi-api in your pom.xml to this version:
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.enterprise</groupId>
<artifactId>cdi-api</artifactId>
<version>2.0-PFD</version>
</dependency>
We also provide a patch for WildFly 10.1.0 to help users evaluate CDI 2.0 under a Java EE application server.
To do so just download and unzip WildFly 10.1.0.Final, then download the patch (no need to unzip it), go to the <WILDFLY_HOME>/bin directory and patch the server with the following command:
./jboss-cli.sh --command="patch apply <PATH_TO_PATCH>/wildfly-10.1.0.Final-weld-3.0.0.CR1-patch.zip"
you should obtain the following result in the console:
{
"outcome" : "success",
"result" : {}
}
Your WildFly server is now patched to use CDI 2.0 and Weld 3.0 CR1.
Happy testing!
