Project overview
Contexts and Dependency Injection (CDI) was a JSR released as part of Java EE 6. CDI allows for container managed injection of artifacts into Java Objects. This feature will provide the functionality needed for EclipseLink to integrate with CDI to provide for CDI injecting into the Entity Listener. This will be a requirement in JPA 2.1
Concepts
Present any concepts relevant to the feature.
Requirements
Using CDI interfaces when available EclipseLink must pass an Entity Listener to the container to allow for injection. The specification covers the process and lifecycle.
