Weld 2.4.2.Final

2017-2-2   release   Martin Kouba

As you may know, CDI 2 (JSR 365) is in Public Review phase. That’s great news for early adopters. But for now, I am very pleased to announce another production-ready version of Weld 2.4 (CDI 1.2). See also the release details. Thanks to everyone involved in this release!

Warning
 There is a regression in Weld 2.4.2.Final. The problem only occurs if a Security Manager is used. However, users are encouraged to upgrade to 2.4.2.SP1 which contains a fix for the issue.

Notable fixes and improvements:

  • Added trimmed bean archives support (CDI 2.0, WELD-2314)

  • Fixed Weld SE and Weld Servlet cooperation (WELD-2260 and WELD-2262)

  • Fixed ActivateRequestContextInterceptor - align the priority with CDI 2.0, fire @Initialized and @Destroyed events (CDI 2.0, WELD-2281)

  • Fixed JDK9 build problems (WELD-2303 and WELD-2301)

  • Validation - allow to use CDI 2 rules when validating selected alternatives in bean.xml (WELD-2313)

  • Performance improvements in javax.enterprise.inject.Instance implementation (CDI 2.0, WELD-2323)

  • Illegal bean types ignored for a session bean (WELD-2315)

  • Dependency upgrade - jboss-classfilewriter to 1.2.1.Final (enables interception of default methods, see also WELD-2093)

  • Weld SE - addded useful methods from SeContainerInitializer (CDI 2.0, WELD-2316)

  • Probe development tool - extended bean archive info
