How do I invoke an injected method with Weld SE?

[ctwx]

Hello,

I'm trying to understand how to use method injection, but I cannot find a way to use it properly. I was wondering: Is it even possible with Weld SE or is this a feature that depends on a Java EE server?

App.java

public class App {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Weld weld = new Weld();
        WeldContainer container = weld.initialize();
        Foo foo = container.select(Foo.class).get();
        // call foo.test() here
    }
}

Foo.java

public class Foo {

    @Inject
    public void test(Baz baz) {
        System.out.println("Baz: " + baz);
    }
}

Baz.java

public class Baz {

    private String name = "Baz";

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "Baz{" + "name=" + name + '}';
    }
}

But how do I invoke foo.test() now with the injection? Is this possible?

Hi Christian,

initializer methods should not be called by application at all (well, you may call initializer methods directly, but then no parameters will be injected by the container). Initializers are called automatically (and params are injected) by the container when a new instance of a bean is created (see also http://docs.jboss.org/cdi/spec/1.2/cdi-spec.html#fields_initializer_methods and http://docs.jboss.org/cdi/spec/1.2/cdi-spec.html#initializer_methods).
