I would like to develop an application with CDI (I use Spring usually) to discover this technology.
I have read many articles about CDI to learn how it works. I have a simple question about transaction management (for persistence in database for example):
Is it mandatory to use EJB 3.1 to have transaction management or is it possible to have it with CDI only ?
Thanks.
No, you can do it with CDI. You simply need to create an interceptor that starts, commits or rollsback a transaction. It’s really not that hard. In Java EE 7 there will be a
@Transactionalfor all managed beans (JSF, CDI, EJB, etc) that will be a CDI interceptor.EDIT: If you’d like to take a look at some that are already done, Apache DeltaSpike and Seam 3 (no longer being developed) have interceptors to handle transactions.
