Stateless beans must have a dependent scope while a stateful session bean can have any scope. By default they are transactional, but you can use the transaction attribute annotation.

CDI beans can be injected into EJBs and EJBs can be injected into CDI beans

When to use which bean How do you know when to use which bean? Simple.

In general, you should use CDI beans unless you need the advanced functionality available in the EJBs such as transactional functions. You can write your own interceptor to make CDI beans transactional, but for now, its simpler to use an EJB until CDI gets transactional CDI beans which is just around the corner

JSF Managed Beans

In short, don’t use them if you are developing for Java EE 6 and using CDI. They provide a simple mechanism for dependency injection and defining backing beans for web pages, but they are far less powerful than CDI beans.

JSF beans cannot be mixed with other kinds of beans without some kind of manual coding.

CDI Beans

includes a complete, comprehensive managed bean facility

interceptors, conversation scope, Events, type safe injection, decorators, stereotypes and producer methods

JSF-like features, you can define the scope of the CDI bean using one of the scopes defined in the javax.enterprise.context package (namely, request, conversation, session and application scopes). If you want to use the CDI bean from a JSF page, you can give it a name using the javax.inject.Named annotation

10.1. Configuration with Servlet 3 On Servlet 3 compliant containers, GraniteDS can use the new APIs to automatically register its own servlets and filters and thus does not need any particular configuration in web.xml. This automatic setup is triggered when GraniteDS finds a class annotated with @FlexFilter in one of the application archives:

@FlexFilter(configProvider=CDIConfigProvider.class) public class GraniteConfig { }

@FlexFilter declaration will setup an AMF processor for the specified url pattern

10.3.2. Typesafe Remoting with Dependency Injection

It is possible to benefit from even more type safety by using the annotation [Inject] instead of In. When using this annotation, the full class name is used to find the target bean in the CDI context instead of the bean name.

CDI enhances the Java EE programming model in two more important ways

allows you to use EJBs directly as JSF backing beans

CDI allows you to manage the scope, state, life-cycle and context for objects in a much more declarative fashion, rather than the programmatic way

CDI has no component model of its own

set of services that are consumed by Java EE components such as managed beans, Servlets and EJBs.

well-defined create/destroy life-cycle that you can get callbacks for via the @PostConstruct and @PreDestroy annotations.

Managed beans

annotation

CDI also integrates with JSF via EL bean name resolution

CDI does not directly support business component services such as transactions, security, remoting, messaging

JSR 330 defines a minimalistic API for dependency injection solutions and is primarily geared towards non-Java EE environments.

Figure 1 shows how CDI fits with the major APIs in the Java EE platform.

none of this uses string names that can be mistyped and all the code is in Java and so is checked at compile time

are additional pieces of meta-data that narrow down a particular class when more than one candidate for injection exists

@Inject

CDI managed beans. The @EJB annotation is removed and @Inject is used instead

Annotating the boundary (Cart) with the @Named annotation makes the Cart immediately visible for expression language (EL) expressions in JSP and JSF

@Named annotation takes the simple name of the annotated class, puts the first character in lowercase, and exposes it directly to the JSF pages (or JSP). The Cart bean can be accessed directly, without any backed or managed beans, by the JSF pages: <h:commandButton value="Check out!" action="#{cart.checkout}" />

If there is a need for abstraction, the class can be turned into an interface (or abstract class)

local implementation (with CDI events

@Inject Event<String> event;

event.fire("Order proceeded!");

remote implementation:

javax.enterprise.event.Event belongs to the CDI-implementation

class Event can be considered to be a lightweight alternative to the java.beans.PropertyChangeSupport class

@Inject Event<String> event;

event.fire("Order proceeded!");

event can be received by any managed bean and also by EJB beans

provide a method with a single @Observes annotated parameter

@Observes String event

there is no real event, just the payload:

The during attribute in the @Observes annotation allows you to select in which transactional phase the event gets delivered. The default setting is IN_PROGRESS, which causes an immediate event delivery regardless of the transaction outcome. The AFTER_SUCCESS configuration causes the delivery to occur only after successful transaction completion

Although CDI events work only inside a single process (in the default case, CDI is extensible), they are perfectly suitable for decoupling packages from modules

The method checkout() starts a transaction that gets "reused" by the OrderSystem and CustomerNotification session beans

ordering.placeOrder(); notifier.sendNotification();

EJB beans cannot be directly exposed to JSF or JSP without a little help from CDI

EnvironmentLoaderListener

found the cause

Instead of configuring the ShiroFilter in my web.xml I had the IniShiroFilter configured. The IniShiroFilter creates a new SecurityManager from the ini file. This new SecurityManager didn't know about the realm I've added in my EnvironmentLoader, so it didn't have any realms.

I replaced it with the ShiroFilter in my web.xml and all seems to be working now with my CdiEnvironmentLoaderListener.

An interface becomes a vehicle for encapsulation or abstraction,

“Interfaces are used to encode similarities which the classes of various types share, but do not necessarily constitute a class relationship. For instance, a human and a parrot can both whistle; however, it would not make sense to represent Humans and Parrots as subclasses of a Whistler class. Rather they would most likely be subclasses of an Animal class (likely with intermediate classes), but both would implement the Whistler interface.” [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_interface]

Extensive use of interfaces derives from a
