Weld 5.0.1.Final

2022-6-24   release   Matej Novotny

Weld Core 5.0.1.Final is now available and comes with Weld API 5.0.SP2.

Main highlights are as follows:

  • Updated all CDI related versions (API and TCKs) to their latest released variants and made sure we are passing

  • Updated many other EE 10 APIs to their latest releases

  • We are once again fully continuously testing against an EE container (nightly WildFly builds) which helped us polish more bumps in tests and code

  • Tomcat 10.1 is available and supports EE 10, so we have upgraded to test against that and can therefore confirm our support for servlets is working well

  • Jetty support is at the moment not verified as there is no public Jetty 12 release to test against

  • Reviewed Servlet related parts of our documentation and updated them

  • Reviewed Weld SE-Servlet cooperation and renewed continuous testing for it

As always, if you find further issues with Weld 5, let us know and we’ll try to help.

Weld 5.0.0.SP2

2022-6-8   release   Matej Novotny

Another quick turnaround as more integrators adopt Weld 5 and help us squash bugs. Weld 5.0.0.SP2 is headed into Central as we speak.

The main reason for this service release is WELD-2721 which was a spec violation in how AfterBeanDiscovery methods were treated outside of lifecycle observer method invocations. Apart from that, there was also a corner case NPE during Weld Servlet and SE cooperation bootstrap (WELD-2720).

As always, if there are more problems with Weld 5, let us know and we’ll try to help.

Weld 5.0.0.SP1

2022-5-4   release   Matej Novotny

A new version of Weld core is now in Maven Central - 5.0.0.SP1.

There have been reports of a bytecode verification error in certain scenarios reported by GlassFish and WildFly trying to integrate Weld 5.0.0.Final. We have investigated the cause and identified the problematic change, you can read more about it in WELD-2719.

Weld 5.0.0.SP1 release reverts the offending change (WELD-2712) and otherwise keeps Weld intant in terms of changes. In case you identify any further issues, don’t hesitate to reach out.

Weld 5.0.0.Final

2022-4-29   release   Matej Novotny

CDI 4 has passed its Final ballot and is now available in Maven Central. Some of you may have played with it already, but where is the fun in it, if you don’t have a Final implementation, right? Have no fear, Weld 5 Final is here!

As usual, there is Weld 5.0.Final API as well as Weld 5.0.0.Final core impl.

It is very much the same as CR2, with some additional tweaks and fixes that came to light when working on integrations within EE servers. That’s right, EE servers are already making progress towards integrating CDI 4 and Weld 5. Folks over at Open Liberty did their Weld 5 homework about a week ago and WildFly now has a pending pull request that adds missing bits for CDI 4 support. It might still be a while before there is a Beta WildFly release, but if you have the nerves, you can build the SNAPSHOT at least.

Back on the topic of changes, here is a list of fixes from CR2 to Final:

  • Self-interception can now be used on protected methods, params and return types (WELD-2712)

  • Rewieved Weld examples and made sure they run for EE 10 (WELD-2708)

  • Review Weld 5 documentation (WELD-2696)

    • Note that the servlet part is still outdated and being worked on as we need to see if there is workable EE 10 variant, see WELD-2716

    • We expect that this will be sorted by the time we ship 5.0.1.Final

  • Firing of the Startup event for web modules can happen too early (WELD-2717)

  • Synthetic beans coming from Build Compatible extension should be registered under their respective extensions (WELD-2718)

  • Exceptions thrown during execution of Build Compatible extensions now correctly preserve their cause (WELD-2710)

  • Some of our SE testing was being skipped ever since Groovy dependency update, this is now corrected (WELD-2714)

Weld 5.0.0.CR2

2022-3-23   release   Matej Novotny

Final ballot of CDI 4 has uncovered untested and unimplemented area in the newly added Startup and Shutdown events.

Our previous release was guilty of not supporting this properly, hence here comes Weld API 5.0.CR2 and Weld Core 5.0.0.CR2.

Weld now automatically fires these events and the JIRA issue for this can be seen here (WELD-2709). However, integrators can choose to override this behavior and fire both events themselves in case there is more bootstrapping logic that needs to come together before the container is deemed ready. The API interface org.jboss.weld.bootstrap.api.Environment allows implementors to override a specific method which will then prevent Weld from handling these events.
