Question

Trying to move from wildfly-25.0.0.Final (Jakarta EE 8 Full) to wildfly-preview-25.0.0.Final (Preview EE 9.1).

After adding my:

org/hibernate/ ...
org/jboss/ ...

I have WELD:

org/jboss/weld/3.1.4 ...
org/jboss/weld/4.0.0.Final ...

Can see WELD 3.1.5 @ https://weld.cdi-spec.org/news/2020/08/12/weld-315Final/

Which version of WELD should I use? 3.1.5 or 4.0.0.Final? Also where do I configure it?

(2) See 'Typo'.

Type on https://weld.cdi-spec.org/download/ for WELD 4.0.2 Finak:

WELD 4.0.2.Finak

Also error with "Download":

Not Found
The requested URL /weld/4.0.2.Finak was not found on this server.

Should be:

https://download.jboss.org/weld/4.0.2.Final/

Answer 1

Weld 4.x is the major version of Weld implementing EE 9 (eg with jakarta namespaces).

However, you don't need to declare this dependency manually. WildFly always contains Weld and the EE 9 variant is no different. You can easily verify that by unpacking Wildfly distribution and looking into /modules/system/layers/base/org/jboss/weld

Thanks for pointing this out, I have fixed the broken link on Weld website.
