Yes. What you want to accomplish is called &quot;injecting into a non-contextual instance&quot;, or in other words &quot;injecting into a non-bean instance&quot;. The object is an injection target.<div><br></div><div><br></div>

<div>Here&#39;s the basic idea.</div><div><br></div><div>1. Obtain the BeanManager</div><div>2. Create a CreationalContext, a context that supports the injection process</div><div>3. Create an AnnotatedType for the class of the object receiving the injections</div>

<div>4. Create an InjectionTarget from that AnnotatedType</div><div>5. Use InjectionTarget.inject(Object, BeanManager) to satisfy the injection points on the non-managed object</div><div><br></div><div><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><div>

This operation is performed, amongst other places, in Arquillian&#39;s CDI test enricher. It&#39;s how Arquillian takes the test case instance and satisfies injection points.</div><div><a href="https://github.com/arquillian/arquillian/blob/master/testenrichers/cdi/src/main/java/org/jboss/arquillian/testenricher/cdi/CDIInjectionEnricher.java">https://github.com/arquillian/arquillian/blob/master/testenrichers/cdi/src/main/java/org/jboss/arquillian/testenricher/cdi/CDIInjectionEnricher.java</a></div>

Hi guys,<br>
<br>
I wonder if it&#39;s possible to offer a set of bean instances (not-managed by<br>
the container) so that their dependencies are satisfied by the container. As<br>
an example, you can grab a Spring BeanFactory and call autowire on it, like<br>
this<br>
<br>
   app.applicationContext.getAutowireCapableBeanFactory()<br>
         .autowireBeanProperties(instance,<br>
AutowireCapableBeanFactory.AUTOWIRE_BY_NAME, false)<br>
<br>
Is there a similar API in Weld/CDI?<br>
<br>
TIA<br>
Andres<br>
