JBoss and CDI Producer

Question

I'm facing a problem with JBoss AS7 / JEE 6 while using a producer for a logger that work's fine with WildFly and JEE 7.

I've created a qualifier:

@Qualifier
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Target({ElementType.FIELD, ElementType.METHOD})
public @interface BpeLogger {
}

A producer class:

public class LoggerProducer{
  @Produces
  @BpeLogger
  public Logger produceLogger(InjectionPoint injectionPoint) {
    return LoggerFactory.getLogger(injectionPoint.getMember().getDeclaringClass().getName());
  }
}

And now I'm trying to inject the logger in another CDI Bean with:

  @Inject
  @BpeLogger
  private Logger logger;

Deploying fails with following exception:

org.jboss.weld.exceptions.DeploymentException: WELD-001408 Unsatisfied dependencies for type [Logger] with qualifiers [@BpeLogger] at injection point [[field] @Inject @BpeLogger private de.ulc.bpe.web.process.Domino.logger]

What's wrong here?

Make sure there is a beans.xml file in the META-INF folder.

You can also try to annotate your LoggerProducer class as a CDI bean directly. E.g. add @Named annotation and possibly a suitable scope. In your case, @Singleton would probably do just fine.

@Named
public class LoggerProducer{
  @Produces
  @BpeLogger
  public Logger produceLogger(InjectionPoint injectionPoint) {
    return LoggerFactory.getLogger(injectionPoint.getMember().getDeclaringClass().getName());
  }
}
