In Pro CDI 2 in Java EE 8 use CDI and the CDI 2.0 to automatically manage the life cycle of
your enterprise Java Java EE or Jakarta EE application's beans using predefined scopes and
define custom life cycles using scopes. In this book you will see how you can implement
dynamic and asynchronous communication between separate beans in your application with CDI
events. The authors explain how to add new capabilities to the CDI platform by implementing
these capabilities as extensions. They show you how to use CDI in a Java SE environment with
the new CDI initialization and configuration API and how to dynamically modify the
configuration of beans at application startup by using dynamic bean building. This book is
compatible with the new open source Eclipse Jakarta EE platform and tools. What You Will Learn
