Unable to find CDI BeanManager

Question

I'm trying to set up a simple application to use SpringBoot 2.1.1 and Java 11 over Wildfly 14 (because Wildfly 15 isn't supported by Eclipse).

The deploy failed because Wildfly cannot find the CDI BeanManager in the project. I'm only trying to follow the simple (official) tutorial, so I don't understand why the error appears.

This is the code:

pom.xml

<properties>
    <start-class>main</start-class>
</properties>

<parent>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
    <version>2.1.1.RELEASE</version>
</parent>

<!-- Add typical dependencies for a web application -->
<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

<!-- Package as an executable jar -->
<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

Application.java

package main;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.EnableAutoConfiguration;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableAutoConfiguration
public class Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
    }

}

This is the stacktrace:

Selfassured

Did you consider adding the cdi-api to your pom.xml dependencies? It's not included within the dependencies you specified. <dependency> <groupId>javax.enterprise</groupId> <artifactId>cdi-api</artifactId> <version>1.2</version> </dependency> – Opprobrious

It works, thanks. What I don't understand is why Spring doesn't include CDI in their parent POM (or, at least, specify that this dependency it's needed) :/ – Selfassured

Cool! I'm glad it worked. If you don't mind, I'll post the same information below as an answer? It will be easier to read with the formatting. If this solves the issue, would you mind accepting the answer by clicking on the grey checkmark next to it, making it green? – Opprobrious

@Opprobrious No need to prompt users to give you rep. The system works. – Whitefaced

Answer 1

As we discussed in the comments, the solution might be as simple as adding the cdi-api to your pom.xml dependencies. It's not included within the dependencies you specified.

<dependency> 
    <groupId>javax.enterprise</groupId> 
    <artifactId>cdi-api</artifactId> 
    <version>1.2</version> 
</dependency>

Opprobrious

further if error comes kindly add below dependency <dependency> <groupId>org.reactivestreams</groupId> <artifactId>reactive-streams</artifactId> <version>1.0.1</version> </dependency> – Refine

Answer 2

Remember, is necessary to include the context that start the CDI configuration.

<Resource name="BeanManager" auth="Container" type="javax.enterprise.inject.spi.BeanManager" factory="org.apache.webbeans.container.ManagerObjectFactory" />

You can check the all setup here

This fixed it for me, since my project is not maven. – Butta

Answer 3

Not directly related to your Problem, but maybe it might help someone else.

We are using SpringBoot with joinfaces, in our case the problem was caused by an error in the faces-config.xml - specifically in the header part <faces-config ...>. Maybe check your git, if the file was updated recently.
