Gerhard, Thanks for the response. I've actually progressed quite well with migration to TomEE and CDI. I'm sure you will see my emails here on this mailing list of any/all questions that I have.
I want to thank you all for the responses. This actually is the first forum where I get responses almost immediately and almost with every email that I send to the mailing list. I am still in the progress of migrating from Glassfish 3.1.2.2 and JSF managed beans to TomEE/OpenEJB/OpenWebBeans/CDI, and apache user groups have been a huge help so far. So thanks! :) Howard On Tue, Nov 20, 2012 at 3:23 PM, Gerhard Petracek <gpetra...@apache.org>wrote: > hi howard, > > @ codi (documentation and setup): > see [1] (and e.g. [2]) > > + you can generate a simple demo e.g. with > mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog= > http://people.apache.org/~gpetracek/myfaces/ > (it's a subset of mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog= > http://myfaces.apache.org) > > and as suggested by mark, you can have a look at tomee. > > regards, > gerhard > > [1] https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/EXTCDI/Index > [2] https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/EXTCDI/Module+Overview > > > > 2012/11/17 Howard W.
