Unable to obtain non-contextual instance

[emilyj]

We are trying to obtain non-contextual instance as per CDI 1.2 section 11.3.4:

Unmanaged<Foo> unmanagedFoo = new Unmanaged<Foo>(Foo.class);

UnmanagedInstance<Foo> fooInstance = unmanagedFoo.newInstance();

Foo foo = fooInstance.produce().inject().postConstruct().get();

I got the following exception on running the above code:

com.google.common.cache.LocalCache$Segment.get:2,263'

com.google.common.util.concurrent.UncheckedExecutionException: org.jboss.weld.exceptions.IllegalStateException: WELD-001328: Unable to identify the correct BeanManager. The calling class javax.enterprise.inject.spi.Unmanaged is not placed in bean archive

Basically, Weld is trying to find bean manager for the class javax.enterprise.inject.spi.Unmanaged but cannot find it. Any ideas why?

Hi Emily,

what target container do you use? WildFly, Tomcat, Jetty, ...?

Hi Martin,

I am trying to integrate Weld into WebSphere Application Server environment. We implemented our own CDIProvider by finding the right container and passing in the container (org.jboss.weld.Container) to SimpleCDI in Weld. As a side note, the function CDI.current().getBeanManager works in apps when directly invoking it. It seems it does not work for obtaining non-contextual instance. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Any suggestions? Is this a bug?

Hi Emily,

this looks like a bug in Weld. I created https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WELD-1830 to track it.
