Abstract

In less than five years of existence, Contexts and Dependency Injection (CDI) has become one of the major specifications in Java EE. However, its advanced features are still not well known among the majority of the developers, who see it as a simple Dependency Injection solution. In this session, after introducing basic CDI features, we’ll deep dive into advanced features like the CDI SPI and portable extensions. Then we'll view some examples of how CDI can be used to extend, in a portable way, the Java EE stack.

Speaker Antoine Sabot-Durand is the CDI co-spec lead. He is also the tech lead of the Agorava project.
