After one year of existence, the CDI 1.1 specification is updated by a maintenance release. This maintenance review known as CDI 1.2 was adopted by the JCP with 24 yes and one Expert Member forgetting to vote. The minor increment (from 1.1 to 1.2) instead of a 1.1-SP1 is due to the the fact that we changed the javadoc and the TCK but beyond that there are far less changes from 1.1 to 1.2 than from 1.0 to 1.1. That’s being said, CDI 1.2 brings a lot of clarifications and small behavior changes. Let’s check what’s on the menu.
