Hi,
I am sorry you think me asking for the one defining feature is inconvenient and make you feel like going around and around, but from my perspective it is a very important question to answer.
What is the one defining feature for CDI itself? I would argue when most folks think about CDI they think Dependency Injection.
So my question stands! What would most folks think this to be named variant would stand for?
Everything I have heard so far does not tell me that as I have only heard implementation concerns.
Thanks!
Kind regards,
Manfred Riem

Here's my take at "one defining feature", though it really is the same as what Jason wrote: decouple the "initialization" phase (where beans are discovered, extensions executed etc. etc.) from the "runtime" phase (where the application just runs) so that
these 2 phases can be executed in 2 different JVM instances.
Note that I already wrote this here on the list at least once. At this point, I feel like we're running around in circles, attacking the same strawman over and over and over and over. That is not productive. How come we got from a very specific quesion on
which everyone's opinion would be very much welcome, to debating "what is CDI Lite", again?

Hi Manfred, response inline:
To clarify if you say subset do you mean that everything that works in this version of CDI would also work in the “Full” version of CDI?
As that is what subset means to me.
If you are a CDI API user (e.g. a typical EE developer) then yes.
If you are an integrator extending CDI by distributing an extension then it depends on if the Full implementation chooses to implement the build-compatible extension SPI. In an ideal world we would have one extension
SPI, but the problem is that we can’t change/evolve the existing extension SPI without impacting compatibility. Full implementations expect to continue to offer that compatibility so we effectively arrive at two extension SPIs.
