Weld 2.4.6.Final

2017-12-18   release   Matej Novotny

Time has come for another round of Weld 2.4 bugfix release. But that’s not all - this time there is also new API to go along with this release - Weld API 2.4.SP2.

Among other things you can now obtain interceptor binding from javax.interceptor.InvocationContext, use enriched version of javax.enterprise.event.Event or select javax.enterprise.inject.Instance based on java.lang.reflect.Type.

Notable fixes and improvements:

  • Weld Core:

    • Improved subclass generation mechanism for generic interceptors (WELD-2414)

    • Corrected proxy creation for signed classes (WELD-2425)

    • Correct InjectionPoint bean behaviour when used within AfterBeanDiscovery observer (WELD-2429)

  • Weld SE

    • There are now multiple convenient error-proof methods to quickly configure SE container (WELD-2426)

      • Weld.enableDevMode(), Weld.scanClasspathEntries(), …​

  • Weld API/SPI

    • WeldInstance has several improvements

      • It now allows you to select() beans based on java.lang.reflect.Type (WELD-2427)

      • WeldInstance.Handler had become lazy which means you can now iterate/filter/sort WeldInstance without actually instantiating beans (WELD-2258)

    • There is new interface in the API - WeldEvent - which can be used in place of well known Event but allows you narrow down event type by using select() with java.lang.reflect.Type (WELD-2427)

    • API now contains WeldInvocationContext, an enriched version of javax.interceptor.InvocationContext which allows to obtain interceptor binding (WELD-2433)

      • There is also a String key used to obtain interceptors binding directly from InvocationContext (WELD-2436)

      • In order to learn more, please refer to (our documentation)

  • Other

    • Probe - fixed NPE which might occur when bean had @Priority but no other annotation (WELD-2432)

    • All the API changes should now be documented within Weld docs
