Inject Bean into CDI Context programmatically?

Question

Is it possible to manually Inject a bean into a CDI context? With the JBoss Seam framework, I could always do something like Contexts.getConversationContext().set("foo", bar); and the Bean would become part of that context. Is it possible to do something like this in Java EE 6 CDI?

Answer 1

There is no way to do this in an implementation agnostic way. You'd have to dig into the implementation, find the scope objects, pull them out via a BeanManager and figure out how to add them. Not all of them (quite possibly none of them) are as easy to set as maps.
