Weld 3.1.9.Final for Jakarta EE 8 and Weld 4.0.3.Final for Jakarta EE 9 are now available. Note Weld 3.1 and Weld 4.0 now enter a maintenance mode - there will be no further active development on these branches. Instead, the focus will be on Weld 5/EE 10 and beyond. Here is a brief list of notable changes; all of these are present in both Weld versions: Gracefully...

Some of you might have noticed that Weld already had some version 5 releases, namely two Alphas. Those were a work-in-progress implementations so I didn’t post any actual release notes as the specification was still undergoing changes. CDI 4 is now in very much ready-to-fly state as its first CR release has recently landed in Maven Central. Therefore, here we are with a proper release of Weld API 5...

New maintenance releases for Weld 3 and 4 have been rolled out. There is only a handful of changes this time so let’s skid across them: Prevent WeldInvocationContext from ever returning null when queried for interceptor bindings (WELD-2675) Fix an NPE if there is an EJB bean with default package present (WELD-2674) Weld wasn’t working on JDK 17 due to jboss-classfilewriter issue; this should no longer be the...

Thanks to your reports, several flaws were discovered in the new class defining for JDK 11+. We have addressed those issues and because we reckon they are potentially blocking, we have released Weld 3.1.7.SP1 and 4.0.1.SP1. Two main issues were: Producers returning an interface type could sometimes try to define a proxy class with invalid name (WELD-2662) Similar thing could happen for inner classes which should now work...

First maintainance release of Weld 4 is now available along with API version 4.0.SP1. The crux of this release is (much like 3.1.7.Final) a rework of Weld’s default class defining capabilities. With 4.0.1.Final you should no longer see illegal reflective access warning so long as you are on JDK 11 or newer. More details on this are below or in the respective JIRA ticket; in...

Weld 3.1.7.Final along with API 3.1.SP4 is now up for grabs! Along a few bugfixes, the flagship of this release is a rework of Weld’s default class defining utilities which should eliminate those pesky JDK 11+ warnings about illegal reflective access. You can find more details on it below or in the JIRA ticket; in case you encounter any issue with it, please don’t hesitate to...

Weld 3.1.6.Final is now available and brings a dosage of bug fixes and updates with it. Without further due, let’s dive straight into it! Fixes and improvements: Weld Core Fix for decorators operating on interfaces with default methods (WELD-2647) Weld will no longer try to load classes for specific JDK version when using multi-release JARs (WELD-2652) ProxyFactory was changed to produce more deterministic and sensible names when...

An early Xmas present for CDI lovers is here - Final release for Weld 4 is now available! You can pick your Xmas jar-packaged present from Maven Central right away. Since there were no new reported issues after integrating Weld 4.0.0.CR1 version into GlassFish and WildFly EE 9 preview, we have promoted Weld to Final release. Latest core version is now 4.0.0.Final and Weld API that ships with it...

A new Weld 4 release is now available! Latest core version is now 4.0.0.Beta1 and Weld API that ships with it is 4.0.Beta1. I will not be listing links to issues as usual, because I think more important work was done outside of JIRA tracking this time (although you can check the issues here). Instead, let me sum it up in a short list of noticeable changes: All Weld bits...

New maintenance release is now out - Weld 3.1.5.Final. It comes along with Weld API 3.1.SP3 although there are no significant changes in the API. The release was mainly to update to a new parent project version, allowing us to consume newer plugins and prepare ground for MR JAR support. As for core artifacts, there are some bugfixes as usual, so let’s take a look at those. Fixes and...
