Pragmatically, unless we are to rewrite the universe and exclusively use
services offered up as CDI oriented POJOs, we are going to run into this over
and over - JNDI, JDBC, JavaMail, and so forth.
The approach I take is to wrap such services within a lighweight CDI style
adaptor so that the "smell of an anti-pattern" is contained within a single
component. This enables all components to be plugged together using CDI,
avoiding confusion and the "whiff" of different metaphors ("different
metaphors" is non-religous speak for anti-pattern) spreading throughout the
architecture.
