WeldInstance.Handler (Weld APIs 5.0.Final API)

Type Parameters:

T - the required bean type

All Superinterfaces:

AutoCloseable, jakarta.enterprise.inject.Instance.Handle<T>

Enclosing interface:

WeldInstance<T>
```
@Deprecated
public static interface WeldInstance.Handler<T>
extends jakarta.enterprise.inject.Instance.Handle<T>
```
Deprecated.

This interface is deprecated. CDI 4.0 introduced Instance.Handle interface that offers the same functionality and can be used in place of Weld specific WeldInstance.Handler. This interface represents a contextual reference handler.
Allows to inspect the metadata of the relevant bean and also to destroy the underlying contextual instance.
