Glassfish 3.x

Due to deployment bugs in Glassfish the CDI implementation might throw an exception while bootstrapping the container (e.g. that beans are missing which are available in the deployed jars).
In such a case, you have to use the all-in-one jar file provided by CODI.

Mojarra as JSF implementation

Due to the early config approach of Mojarra, it sometimes happens that the CDI container isn't started before the startup of Mojarra. As a basic rule it's suggested to use the controlled bootstrapping add-on as soon as you use CODI in combination with Mojarra outside of a JEE6+ environment.
