Move from Weld to OpenWebBeas

[Luc <us...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I've been using Weld as CDI-implementation in a Tomcat 6 webapp deployment
project.
Now, I was triying to move to OpenWebBeans, to test if the webapp
perfomance was better, but I'm facing a few problems / differences, that
I'd like to check before continue.

First is deployment: as I've read here[1], the owb plugins and CDI spec
must be in the tomcat/lib folder, is it right?

The problem in my case is that *not all the deployed tomcat webaps are CDI*,
and I don't want them to be coupled with.


I also wanted to review documentation from the Apache project web, like the
tomcat one[2], but all is "not found". Is this correct?

Thanks!

Sorry, I didn't mention it. My project is a Servlet+JSF webapp.

Nice examples! I've generated a maven archetype from myfaces, with OWB and
Mojarra, and I am adapting it to my needs.

As far as I see, has less thirdparty dependencies (scannotations and
javassist) and is more module-oriented.
But in the other hand, I'm finding some more "complex" differences in the
use of CDI. I'll take a look later and I'll send e-mail if needed.

Thanks a lot! :D

hi lucas,

you can have a look at the archetypes for codi (they use owb configured for
servlet-containers).

just generate it via
mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=http://myfaces.apache.org
and update the version numbers (as needed).

also most examples for codi use owb as well (see e.g. [1] and [2]).

regards,
gerhard

Hi,

you can put OWB in your webapp

then the way you boot it depend on what you expect. For simple case CdiCtrl
of DeltaSpike can be enough in a context listener, for more advanced case
(integration with servlets) you can need tomcat listeners of
openwebbeans-tomcatX modules
