JSR-330 dependency injection can be applied to both Java SE and Java EE environments, while JSR-299 is titled “Contexts and Dependency Injection for the Java EE platform”.

Except strictly Java EE-oriented features, what CDI features make sense on Java SE as well? Any examples available? Thanks!

Here’s Weld on JSE.

    Well, the one mentioned in the Weld documentation:

    18.4. Java SE

    In addition to improved integration of
    the Enterprise Java stack, the
    “Contexts and Dependency Injection for
    the Java EE platform” specification
    also defines a state of the art
    typesafe, stateful dependency
    injection framework, which can prove
    useful in a wide range of application
    types. To help developers take
    advantage of this, Weld provides a
    simple means for being executed in the
    Java Standard Edition (SE) environment
    independently of any Java EE APIs.

    When executing in the SE environment
    the following features of Weld are
    available:

    • Managed beans with @PostConstruct and @PreDestroy lifecycle callbacks
    • Dependency injection with qualifiers and alternatives
    • @Application, @Dependent and @Singleton scopes
    • Interceptors and decorators
    • Stereotypes
    • Events

    This obviously makes sense in a Java SE context.
