Using Contexts & Dependency Injection in the Java EE 6 Ecosystem

Contexts and Dependency Injection (CDI) defines a set of services for the Java EE environment that make applications much easier to develop. It provides an architecture that allows Java EE components, such as servlets, enterprise beans, and JavaBeans, to exist within the lifecycle of an application with well-defined scopes. CDI also unifies the user interface layer of the application with the model layer.

In this session, we'll explore how to use CDI with Java EE 6 technologies such has JavaServer Faces (JSF), Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs), Java Persistence API (JPA), Java API for XML Web Services (JAX-WS), and Java API for RESTful Web Services (JAX-RS).
