The Apache OpenWebBeans APIs are not supported on Liberty and WebSphere Application Server traditional V9 or later.

In WebSphere traditional V8.5.5 and earlier, applications can package and use the OpenWebBeans APIs, whereas in WebSphere traditional V9 and Liberty, using the OpenWebBeans APIs in your applications is not supported.

For Java EE 7, the CDI 1.2 feature is based on the Weld CDI reference implementation instead of Apache OpenWebBeans. This implementation introduces some behavior changes when you migrate your applications from CDI 1.0. If you are considering using CDI 1.2, see Contexts and Dependency Injection 1.2 behavior changes.
