[SOLVED] Use only JSR api in my pom.xml

Use only JSR api in my pom.xml

Well, i'm trying to follow the Oracle JSR and use only specifications in my project. I'm using JBOSS EAP 7 as Server APP.

1) I have hibernate dependency in my project:

 <dependency>
            <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
            <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
            <version>${hibernate.core.version}</version>
        </dependency>

This is the correct way to follow specification (JSR) ? Or i should just set the JPA dependency without any hibernate dependency and let jboss take care about it ?

2) Another example: I'm using CDI, and in my project i have the WELD as implementation of CDI:

 <dependency>
            <groupId>org.jboss.weld</groupId>
            <artifactId>weld-core-jsf</artifactId>
            <version>2.3.3.Final</version>
        </dependency>

Should i replace it for a CDI-API dependency and let jboss takes care about implentation ?

What is the correct way to follow the JSR and go away from implementations ?

Solution

I haven't used JBoss EAP 7; but from its feature list it should implement Java EE 7 full profile. If that is the case, all that you need is the following Maven dependency:

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax</groupId>
    <artifactId>javaee-api</artifactId>
    <version>7.0</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

This should work as long as you deploy your application on one of full featured application servers (Wildfly/JBoss, Glassfish, Websphere,...) which support Java EE 7.
