JSF 2.3 CDI not working on tomcat - jsf

Question

I am trying to set up jsf 2.3 on tomcat 8 whenever I used #inject I keep having an error with it I have googled and searched on stackoverflow.com yet I can't find a solution to it. I have already installed CDI (Weld) on it following #BalusC example from here How to install and use CDI on Tomcat? yet I keep having unsatisfied dependency: no bean matches the injection point. I can't figure it out is there anything i am missing?
ConfigurationBean.java
import static javax.faces.annotation.FacesConfig.Version.JSF_2_3;
import javax.faces.annotation.FacesConfig;
#FacesConfig(
// Activates CDI build-in beans
version = JSF_2_3
)
public class ConfigurationBean {
}
beans.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee"

PushBean.java
#Named
#ViewScoped
public class PushBean implements Serializable {
#Inject #Push(channel="counter") //This is where i get the error message unsatisfied dependency: no bean matches the injection point
private PushContext push;
}
For me this code looks fine but am wondering if it is netbeans bug. I tried that without using spring just only tomcat with jsf i still get the same error message. I couldn't find any error message inside the stacktrace.

Answer 1

Spring is NOT a full blown CDI container and only 'knows' the #Named and #Inject annotations and consequently does not (most likely) recognize the #Push annotation as a qualifier and cannot find the bean and throws the error you get (posting an explicit error and stacktrace is btw something you should always do in a question!)

Answer 2

I'd suggest to check your scopes. The built - in CDI scopes are #ApplicationScoped, #SessionScoped, #ConversationScoped and #RequestScoped . There is no #ViewScoped annotation in CDI.
You can inject the same level or broader scope, but not one which is smaller (e.g you cannot inject #RequestScoped into #SessionScoped bean)
