Weld 5.1.7.Final

2026-1-14 release Matej Novotny

Weld 5.1.7.Final has landed in Central, let’s take a look at what’s been changed:

Observable Startup and Shutdown events for web modules are now fired within a synchronized block, similarly to @Initialized events for application scope (WELD-2827)
Weld SE annotated reflection discovery strategy was incorrectly recognizing classes with indirectly present bean defining annotations as valid beans (WELD-2826)
- For a class to be considered annotated with a bean defining annotation (for instance a scope), that annotation has to be directly present on the class; inheritance is not enough
- Note Jandex discovery was working correctly and is unaffected
Fixed stack overflow error that could appear when TRACE logging was enabled and JSF was present (WELD-2817)
Minor project adjustment to make it buildable with Java 25 (WELD-2820)
- Weld itself should run with Java 25 even on earlier versions, these changes were aimed at making the project build with it too

If you find any issues with the current release, don’t hesistate to report them via usual channels.
