Getting BeanManager from ServletContext with Weld 1.1.0

[chkal]

Hi there,

I just tried to upgrade one of our applications from Weld 1.0.1 to 1.1.0. It worked fine except for one minor problem. It seems like Weld 1.1.0 doesn't store the BeanManager in the ServletContext anymore. Is there a reason why this feature was removed?

I use this code which worked fine in Weld 1.0.1:

servletContext.getAttribute("javax.enterprise.inject.spi.BeanManager");

It seems to got removed while working on WELD-679. Any ideas?

Thanks

Christian

Yes, this changed. See Listener class for exact attribute key.

public static final String BEAN_MANAGER_ATTRIBUTE_NAME = Listener.class.getPackage().getName() + "." + BeanManager.class.getName();

The idea is to make this impl detail, as this was never per spec behavior.

e.g. we don't wanna put people on the wrong track or make them think about this use case

Where can i find this Listener class?

I am using GF 3.1 and do not have such a Listener class ?!

This Listener is only used when you're running in non-appserver web container; e.g. Tomcat or Jetty

In your case GF is handling the integration, hence you need to check GF's code if they expose BM in servlet context.
