<div dir="ltr">@George, in your use case, would having basic dependency injection help ?<div><br></div><div>@Antoine If the future of Java EE is modularity, then having basic dependency injection *makes* sense. Even if Java EE 8 will not make any movement towards modularity, we hope that EE9 will. In these times of micro services, you could bundle basic DI instead of the all thing. So, in my opinion, it makes sense to think of it in EE too.</div><div><br></div><div><i>"<span style="font-size:12.8000001907349px;white-space:pre-wrap">CDI lite is basic injection plus producer plus programmatic lookup plus <b>events</b>, so it's more than a fatter jsr 330"</span></i></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8000001907349px;white-space:pre-wrap"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8000001907349px;white-space:pre-wrap">So you are thinking of having events in CDI Lite ? </span></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8000001907349px;white-space:pre-wrap"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8000001907349px;white-space:pre-wrap">Antonio</span></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8000001907349px;white-space:pre-wrap"><br></span></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Aug 29, 2015 at 11:15 PM, arjan tijms <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:arjan.tijms@gmail.com" target="_blank">arjan.tijms@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><span class="">On Sat, Aug 29, 2015 at 8:45 PM, Antonio Goncalves<br>

</span>I can't find an exact reference anymore, but I somewhat remember that<br>
one of the reasons was also simply that CDI as a general solution<br>
finished late in Java EE 6, while JAX-RS finished earlier and had all<br>
the work for their own DI solution already done.<br>
