Hello

Discussion is moved from here. I really wanted to make things simple but it seems that it is not possible to not give more details.

I am operating on glassfish 4.1.1 using WELD-000900: 2.2.13 (Final), developing JAX-RS endpoint with Jersey.

Having class:

@Path(/test)

public class A {
   @Inject B hk2object;
   @Inject C cdiObject;
}

I found out that @Inject annotation is also used by HK2 DI engine avaliable on glassfish -  jerseyExample HK2example

I also read that Cdi (JSR-299 Context and Dependency Injection for Java) in Weld is just more complex version of JSR 330: Dependency Injection for Java in HK2.

I thought I can take advantage of this and create HK2 Factory to produce my B object example

and thereafter inject it using @Inject.

The problem is that when deploying *.war Weld checks all @Inject annotations and determines wheather it is able to perform injection.

Assume I have my HK2 factory ready and I dont want to mangle it to Cdi Producer method.

Then when implementing solution from referenced stackoverflow post:

public CustomInjection(InjectionTarget<T> originalInjectionTarget, BeanManager beanManager) {
   this.wrappedInjectionTarget = originalInjectionTarget;
   this.beanManager = beanManager;
}

@Override
            public void inject(T instance, CreationalContext<T> ctx) {
  l.trace("Injecting into {}", instance);
//....create my own HK2 object. Can it be just new B() for example ?!  
  locator =ServiceLocatorUtilities.createAndPopulateServiceLocator();  
  B b = locator.createAndInitialize(B.class);

  l.trace("First injecting standard dependencies {}", instance);
  wrappedInjectionTarget.inject(instance, ctx);
   // dispose created by CDI B type object ?! - seems messy but works 
  manageBViaReflection((x, y, z) -> x.set(y, z), instance, b);
}

line 8 injects B object produced by Cdi not HK2 into bean instance.

Next I have to dispose it manually (probably that is not elegant) because B type object has to be disposed from the definition and next set field B b of bean instance of type A to Object B produced by HK2.

Actually this is not a problem - I can handle producing B object using CDI. I was just wondering wheather can I use @Inject connected to HK2 engine not Weld.
