Jakarta Contexts and Dependency Injection
4.0
3.0
2.0
1.2

The Jakarta Contexts and Dependency Injection 3.0 specification makes it easier to integrate Jakarta EE components of different types. It provides a common mechanism to inject components such as enterprise beans or managed beans into other components such as JSPs or other enterprise beans.

If you are updating your application from using the cdi-3.0 feature to using the cdi-4.0 feature, changes in API behavior might require you to update your application code. For more information, see Differences between Jakarta Contexts and Dependency Injection 4.0 and 3.0.
