## Description:
Apache DeltaSpike is is a suite of portable JSR-299 CDI
(Contexts and & Dependency
Injection) extensions intended to make application development easier when
working with CDI and Java EE. Some of its key features include:
- A core runtime that supports component configuration, type safe messaging
and internationalization, and exception handling.
- A suite of utilities to make programmatic bean lookup easier.
- A plugin for Java SE to bootstrap both JBoss Weld and Apache OpenWebBeans
outside of a container.
- JSF integration, including backporting of JSF 2.2 features for Java EE 6.
- JPA integration and transaction support.
- A Data module, to create an easy to use repository pattern on top of JPA.
- Quartz integration
Testing support is also provided, to allow you to do low level unit testing of your CDI enabled projects for Java) Extension library
which contains lots of useful tools and helpers
which are missing in the CDI core spec.
DeltaSpike is not a CDI-container itself, but a portable
Extension library which can run on all CDI-containers!
DeltaSpike is tested and runs on many Java EE Servers like
Apache TomEE, Red Hat JBoss Application Server, JBoss Wildfly,
Oracle WebLogic, Oracle Glassfish, IBM WebSphere, and also on
simple Servlet containers like Apache Tomcat or Jetty in combination
with either JBoss Weld or Apache OpenWebBeans.
