We test all features with Apache OpenWebBeans which is very solid and currently offers a better performance than Weld.
However, we also have some tests and examples for Glassfish3/Weld as well as JBoss AS 7. The problem is: so far every Weld release fixed some issues but also introduced at least one new major issue (at least up to v1.1.1 - some of them might be specific to a specific application server).
We already implemented a lot of workarounds for Weld. However, there are different Weld issue (in different versions) we can't bypass. We already filed several bug reports.
If you are facing a problem in combination with CODI, please contact our mailing-list. Since we know most of the issues the answer will be "Please use/try ..." or "Please file a bug report for Weld" or "We are aware of it and we already filed a bug report" or "You can try the manual workaround: ...". However, please contact us in any case because you might have found a new problem.
Besides that CODI v1+ provides special alternative packages which try to bypass as many issues as possible. We already have users who are using Glassfish3/Weld in combination with CODI for their projects successfully. However, users already saw new issues after updating the version of Weld they are using. That isn't specific to CODI - it's true for a lot of portable extensions like Seam3.
We If you prefer a more solid setup, we recommend Apache OpenWebBeans (and no - not because it's the CDI implementation hosted at Apache ). OpenWebBeans in combination with CODI is successfully used for several ! real world ! applications which serve millions requests a day . We hope to be able to add other implementations to this recommendation quite soon. If you have to stick and allows to use e.g. with Glassfish v3, we recommend the latest version because every update usually improves the situation (at least a bitadvanced plug-ins like the CODI Boost Add-on. In case of JBoss Weld we recommend version 1.1.4+ (and v1.1.1 as an absolute minimum).
Usually it's possible to upgrade Glassfish with the newest version of Weld. That's not the case with Weld v1.1.2 due to a cache which broke the integration with Glassfish at least up to v3.1.1. Since CODI will resolve the first bean you will see e.g. something like: Critical error during deployment: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/jboss/weld/context/cache/RequestScopedBeanCache at org.apache.myfaces.extensions.cdi.core.api.config.CodiCoreConfig$Proxy$$$_WeldClientProxy.isAdvancedQualifierRequiredForDependencyInjection(CodiCoreConfig$Proxy$$$_WeldClientProxy.java). However, that isn't a CODI bug. If you use the version of weld which is supported by Glassfish officially, you won't have such problems.
