> CDI 1.0 defines a JNDI lookup as the standard way to obtain the BeanManager for resources not managed by the CDI environment. However in a servlet environment it would be much easier to get the BeanManager from a standardized servlet context attribute. This would be also a major simplification in environments that don't support JNDI (for example GAE) or that don't allow to use the standard JNDI name for the BeanManager (for example Apache Tomcat).
> This topic was already discussed on weld-dev about a year ago [1]. Weld 1.0 already supports this [2] and OpenWebBeans also added this feature [3]. Unfortunately Weld 1.1 changed the attribute to a Weld-specific name in [4] which currently leads to much confusion [5].
> As both of the major CDI implementations support this feature I think it should finally be put into the spec.
