CDI-JSF: Use @Inject to annotate a field of a bean

Most commonly, JSF applications uses dependency injection by annotating private fields with @Inject. We can inject directly an instance of another class (bean) or we can inject an javax.enterprise.inject.Instance and use the get() method to obtain the needed instance:

@Named

@RequestScoped

public class TheBean {

 private static final Logger LOG = Logger.getLogger(TheBean.class.getName());

 @Inject

 private Foo foo;

 //private Instance<Foo> foo;

   

 @Inject

 private Buzz buzz;

 //private Instance<Buzz> buzz;

   

 @Inject

 private Bizz bizz;   

 //private Instance<Bizz> bizz;

 public void callFooBuzzBizz() {

  LOG.info("TheBean#callFooBuzzBizz() called ...");

  Messages.addGlobalInfo("TheBean#callFooBuzzBizz() called ...");

       

  foo.fooify();

  buzz.buzzify();

  bizz.bizzify();

       

  // foo.get().fooify();

  // buzz.get().buzzify();

  // bizz.get().bizzify();

 }

}
