Contexts and Dependency Injection (CDI)

Microbule is designed to be automatically detected by your CDI container. All of Microbule’s components are assigned JSR-330 (javax.inject) annotations. First, you’ll need to add Microbule to your classpath.

Dependencies

If you are using Maven, simply add the following dependencies to your pom.xml file:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.microbule</groupId>
  <artifactId>microbule-all</artifactId>
  <version>${microbule.version}</version>
<dependency>

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.microbule</groupId>
  <artifactId>microbule-cdi-container</artifactId>
  <version>${microbule.version}</version>
<dependency>

Let’s examine these dependencies:

• microbule-all: the Microbule framework with all of the standard plugins.
• microbule-cdi-container: the CDI-based MicrobuleContainer implementation, which adapts Microbule to CDI.

You will also need to choose from the available ConfigurationProviders.

Once you have these dependencies defined, Microbule will automatically start up once the CDI “application” scope initializes.

JAX-RS Service Discovery

Once Microbule starts, it will automatically create a CXF server for any @Path-annotated bean in the current CDI container.
