CDI/Weld: book or resource recommendation [closed]

Asked 14/3, 2011 at 1:47 Answered 3/4, 2012 at 8:19

Is there an existing, or upcoming book on CDI/Weld that you can recommend?

I'm looking for something that's similar in scope and quality to Seam in Action, which was a great reference for Seam, but now seems a little dated.

At the time of writing I can confirm that there is nothing like this (though badly needed). Dan Allen, the Author of "Seam in Action" was interviewed for the German JavaMagazin in 2010 and stated that he has no direct plans for a sequel.

Your best options so far:

Online:

Offline:

"Enterprise JavaBeans 3.1" / Andrew Rubinger & Bill Burke / O'Reilly (At least a chapter about CDI, but far away from the information density of Dan Allen's SIA)

The lack of a good reference is actually preventing me from using this in projects. :-( – Amp 30/3, 2011 at 20:22

Definitely a decision worth rethinking. True: There are not too many good books covering CDI out there. False: There's no reference available. It's just online - but it's very very much worth a try :-) – Makeshift 30/3, 2011 at 20:42

That collection of articles has recently been released. It's for free, but you have to register - that's why I did not check it out yet ;-) But the authors, Mark Struberg and Pete Muir are true CDI experts. Certainly worth to have a look at.

Unfortunately the Java Tech Magazine is not published anymore and old issues are gone. – Outcurve 26/2, 2016 at 17:40

Amazing how time flies by, isn't it? – Makeshift 28/2, 2016 at 10:44

There's a German book upcoming, that looks quite promising: http://www.amazon.de/CDI-Mit-Java-voll-durchstarten/dp/3868020713.
