How to disable WELD on WildFly

Question

How to fully disable WELD on WildFly. I don\'t need it, because I use another DI framework.

Exception 0 : javax.enterprise.inject.UnsatisfiedResolut

Answer 1

Try deleting or commenting out the org.jboss.as.weld extension in the extensions list on the beginning of $JBOSS_HOME/standalone/configuration/standalone.xml. You may also want to delete <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:weld:1.0"/> from <profile>. This should cause disabling Weld for all applications deployed on the server.

Answer 2

There's the standard way:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee"
   xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
   xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee 
                       http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee/beans_1_1.xsd"
   version="1.1" bean-discovery-mode="none">
</beans>

Option 1: jboss-all.xml in the war

This is Weld-specific, but it disables Weld's automatic bean scanning for an entire deployment (eg a war file and all the jars inside it). This is handy when you can't easily add beans.xml to a third-party jar, such as jboss-seam-resteasy.jar.

Save as WEB-INF/jboss-all.xml for wars, META-INF/jboss-all.xml otherwise:

<jboss xmlns="urn:jboss:1.0">
    <weld xmlns="urn:jboss:weld:1.0" require-bean-descriptor="true"/>
</jboss>

See Per-deployment configuration.

Option 2: standalone.xml in WildFly

Another option, which doesn't require changing the application itself, is to configure the weld subsystem not to treat random jars as CDI libraries. Just edit the configuration for weld in WildFly's standalone.xml to look like this:

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:weld:2.0" require-bean-descriptor="true"/>
