Interface Deployment

All Superinterfaces:

public interface Deployment
extends Service

Represents a deployment of a CDI application. Web Beans will request the bean archive deployment structure during the bean discovery initialization step. After this step, CDI allows users to define bean's programmatically, possibly with bean classes from a deployment archive which is currently not a bean deployment archive. Web Beans will request the BeanDeploymentArchive for each programmatically using loadBeanDeploymentArchive(Class). If any unknown BeanDeploymentArchives are loaded, before Web Beans proceeds to validating the deployment, the bean archive deployment structure will re-requested. For an application deployed as an ear to a Java EE container, all library jars, EJB jars, rars and war WEB-INF/classes directories should be searched, and the bean deployment archive structure built. For an application deployed as a war to a Java EE or Servlet container, all library jars and the WEB-INF/classes directory should be searched, and the bean deployment archive structure built.
