Alternatives configuration in multiple CDI jars

palkonyves Nov 17, 2013 11:02 AM

Hi,

Last time I looked, in CDI 1.0 it was not possible to do alternatives configuration from one "master beans.xml", because the scope of the beans.xml is the jar that contains it. This is a problem, when I have a project with multiple CDI jars, and want to run unit test with alternative beans. Building the application for testing would require to modify all the beans.xml that contains alternative beans. This is painful.

How can I achieve having a "master beans.xml" for my application? Do you know any CDI extensions that helps me with this in CDI 1.0? How is it working in CDI 1.1?

Thank you very much!

With CDI 1.1 you can enable an alternative globally by giving it a @Priority - see http://docs.jboss.org/cdi/spec/1.1/cdi-spec.html#declaring_selected_alternatives

do you know how to achieve similar with CDI 1.0 ? The solution can be specific to weld.

By the way it's interesting to me, why this seems to be a struggle and not a key concept from the beginning. As if people who made the specs forgot about an application is made of many different JAR's.
