Using Weld 2.x as a CDI 1.1 implementation on Jetty 9.1, and Jersey 2.x for JAX-RS 2.0 on top of that

1jetty-weld-howto.md

Servlets with CDI

• get latest Jetty 9.1 archive and extract somewhere (I'll assume the Jetty root is called "jetty")
• in jetty/lib, create a folder called "weld" and download the weld-servlet and weld-servlet-core JARs into it. For injection in listeners to work, version should be 2.2.0.Beta1 or later.
• in jetty/modules, create a weld.mod as in this gist
• in jetty/start.ini, add a single line containing "--module=weld" to initialise Weld

In most cases, that should be it and you can deploy any compliant CDI application, even without a web.xml. In some cases though you may need to add the old-fashioned filter entry to the web.xml. See also: weld/core#465

Servlets with CDI and JAX-RS 2.0 (using Jersey)

• get jersey-container-servlet, jersey-client (if you need it), and jersey-gf-cdi including all their dependencies and put them into a jetty/lib/jersey folder
• add a jetty/modules/jersey.mod file (similar to the Weld one) and activate the module with "--module=jersey"

This seems to work at least for a basic CDI+JAX-RS application: https://github.com/KlausBrunner/jaxrscditest

Note that WARs aren't properly classloader-separated if used in this way! Another option is to add the required JARs to the context XMLs of each WAR; see XMLs in this gist.
