[As we continue with this series, we will refer to some content and examples from the CDI 2.x specification].
The CDI specification allows developers the flexibility to create new types that are within the scopes of the bean type declaration.
In this example we will examine and learn how easy it is to create custom CDI annotations for defining:
[As we continue with this series, we will refer to some content and examples from the CDI 2.x specification].
In order for the CDI container to recognize your bean for injection, your bean needs to be qualified. This can be achieved by associating a bean with a qualifier type. A qualifier type represents some client-visible semantic associated with a type that is satisfied by some implementations of the type (and not by others). In other words, a qualifier type identifies a bean with a type that can be satisfied to one specific implementation of the same type (else it becomes an unsatisfied dependency).
Welcome to my new series called “Understanding Jakarta EE 8”. A tutorial series that tackle various Jakarta EE 8 technologies.
Jakarta EE 8 marks the new era in the Java Ecosystem. It is essentially Java EE 8 but it is governed by the Jakarta EE Working Group, What’s important is that the Jakarta EE project is operated under an open-source process - the Jakarta EE Specification Process (JESP). My previous article explains the history of Jakarta EE 8.
We are very happy to report that we've successfully passed all of nearly 50,000 test suites of Jakarta EE 8 TCK, and Payara Server 5.193.1 is Jakarta EE 8 Full Profile compatible!

The Payara team is extremely proud to be among the first to achieve Jakarta EE 8 Full Platform Compatibility, starting with Payara Platform 5.193.1. This is a significant milestone for Payara, and the team has done a huge amount of work to get this done. I think this is a great adoption story for Jakarta EE, in general, as Payara Server is not a Java EE 8 implementation. Furthermore, this shows that Jakarta EE is an open standard and can bring in new organizations and implementations.
