Hi, glad to hear you resolved it and sorry for late response, I was away during Xmas.
CDI and EJB are two different technologies/specs both of which are part of Java EE. EJB being the older one (last release 2013), CDI (last release 2017) is now more commonly used. They have some similar capabilities (each has its own mechanics for injection and interception for instance) but many are different as each spec targets different goals. Since one technology complements the other, they were commonly used together and CDI integrates with EJB and allows you to use EJB beans "as if they were CDI" (not the other way around though). The list of different capabilities could be quite exhausting, so I would probably point you towards either googling or specification, depending on how deep knowledge you seek. EJB spec - https://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=345 CDI spec - http://docs.jboss.org/cdi/spec/2.0/cdi-spec.html Hope this sheds at least some light. I can of course try to answer your more specific questions, just this one is a bit too broad :) Matej ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Karen Goh" <[email protected]> > To: "Matej Novotny" <[email protected]> > Cc: [email protected] > Sent: Wednesday, January 2, 2019 11:13:16 AM > Subject: Re: [weld-dev] Clarification needed for using WELD CDI > > Hi Matej, > Thank you for your reply but I managed to resolved the issue of getting the > id.
