11## Description:
Apache DeltaSpike is a suite of portable CDI (Contexts & 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.
