Good evening ladies and gentlemen! It’s a great pleasure to announce the release of Apache OpenWebBeans-1.7.0.
Apache OpenWebBeans is a CDI container (Contexts and Dependency Injection for Java) and targets the CDI-1.2 specification (JavaEE 7). We pass the standalone CDI TCK and the JavaEE7 CDI-TCK (inside Apache TomEE-7.0). OpenWebBeans is modularly built and can be used either in pure Java SE, in a Servlet Container like e.g. Tomcat or in fully fledged JavaEE containers. Our core is only 500k and thus brings full JavaEE compatibility at a smaller size than most so called ‚micro solutions‘. The main change of OWB-1.7.0 is the move to Java7 as minimum requirement. We also dropped support for old technologies like JSF-1.2, EL-1.0 and Tomcat6. Distribution packages can be downloaded from http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/openwebbeans/1.7.0/ If you are looking for an older version then please visit http://openwebbeans.apache.org/download.html The release is also available via maven http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/openwebbeans/ We include command line installer scripts in our binary distribution which can be used as easy as: $> unzip openwebbeans-distribution-1.7.0-binary.zip $> cd openwebbeans-distribution-1.7.0 $> ./install_owb_tomcat7.bat /opt/your/apache-tomcat-8.x.x (works with Apache Tomcat7, 8, 8.5 and 9) Please also visit our homepage http://openwebbeans.apache.org have fun, The Apache OpenWebBeans Team
