Yes, Web Beans, which implements JSR-299: Contexts and Dependency  
Injection for Java EE (formally known as Web Beans, abbreviated to  
CDI) is integrated in JBoss AS from 5.1.0 and above.

Just download the app server, and deploy an app which is CDI-enabled  
(drop a beans.xml file into WEB-INF) and you'll see CDI services are  
made available.
