JavaOne 2015 - Rafael Benevides - Apache DeltaSpike, the CDI Toolbox

CDI portable extensions are among the greatest features of Java EE, enabling the platform to be extended in a clean and portable way. But allowing extension is just part of the story. CDI opens the door to a whole new ecosystem for Java EE, but it’s not the role of the specification to create these extensions. Apache DeltaSpike is the project that leads this brand new ecosystem by providing useful extension modules for CDI applications as well as tools to ease the creation of new ones. This session starts by presenting the DeltaSpike toolbox and shows how it helps you develop for CDI. Then it describes the major extensions included in DeltaSpike, including “configuration,” “scheduling,” and “data.”
