yes, that is exactly what should happen. Please note that you could also have a WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/beans.xml to pickup WEB-INF/classes as bean archive. I always do it that way, because Eclipse and Idea can handle this much better when you e.g. need to debug a webapp with mvn jetty:run LieGrue, strub > ________________________________ > From: Joseph Snyder <j.j.snyder(a)oracle.com&gt; > To: cdi-dev(a)lists.jboss.org > Sent: Friday, February 3, 2012 9:34 PM > Subject: [cdi-dev] War with no WEB-INF/beans.xml > > > I have a test war that does not contain WEB-INF/beans.xml.

I'm confused...The CDI spec states that WEB-INF/beans.xml indicates that WEB-INF/classes is a bean archive. So CDI is stating that the servlet injection point should not work, not that it should work right?

CDI implies that the Servlet injection point should work, however Java EE says it definitely won't. Assuming that Java EE overrules CDI here, then you are correct, and that is how all containers I know of are implemented. > > On 3 Feb 2012, at 22:28, Mark Struberg wrote: > >> >> yes, that is exactly what should happen. >> >> >> Please note that you could also have a WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/beans.xml to pickup WEB-INF/classes as bean archive. >> I always do it that way, because Eclipse and Idea can handle this much better when you e.g. need to debug a webapp with mvn jetty:run >> >> LieGrue, >> strub >> >>> ________________________________ >>> From: Joseph Snyder&lt;j.j.snyder(a)oracle.com&gt; >>> To: cdi-dev(a)lists.jboss.org >>> Sent: Friday, February 3, 2012 9:34 PM >>> Subject: [cdi-dev] War with no WEB-INF/beans.xml >>> >>> >>> I have a test war that does not contain WEB-INF/beans.xml.
