The problem is that I need to make changes and adjustments in Tomcat, so in the end it can't be in owb. I used the code from webbeans-tomcat7, and didn't see any other modules (maybe you're referring to the ones in samples I just found). > > More technically: openwebbeans does not need properties files you can pass > Properties when you create the WebBeansContext, this is what tomee does. > Same for cxf and its bus ;). > Ok, I'll have a look at that, it's better than properties files (but similar). > > Biggest short term challenge is to align scanners but it is very doable, > long term it is to drop big core jars in all 3 libs for smaller bundles ;). > Ok. > > Feel free to shout if you need help or more precise pointers. > Rémy > > > Le mer. 29 mai 2019 à 18:26, Rémy Maucherat <r...@apache.org> a écrit : > >> Hi, >> >> This was on my hackaton todo list, I guess I'm a bit late, but getting to >> it now ... >> >> CDI is the building brick for many other popular libraries and >> frameworks, including JAX-RS (Apache CXF), Eclipse Microprofile, etc. >> Looking at the CDI implementation from the ASF, I am not fully satisfied >> with the integration or packaging of OWB in the context of Tomcat.
