the actual servlet:

package com.blah.api;

import java.io.IOException;
import javax.inject.Inject;
import javax.servlet.Servlet;
import javax.servlet.ServletConfig;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.ServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.ServletResponse;

import com.blah.core.greetings.Greeter;

public class Jerklet implements Servlet {

    @Inject
    Greeter greeter;

    @Override
    public void destroy() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    }

    @Override
    public ServletConfig getServletConfig() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    public String getServletInfo() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    public void init(ServletConfig arg0) throws ServletException {

        System.out.println("init init init init init init init init init init init init init init init!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!");
        System.out.println("and we say: " + this.greeter.greet());


    }

    @Override
    public void service(ServletRequest arg0, ServletResponse arg1)
            throws ServletException, IOException {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    }

}

----

the interface of the injectee:

package com.blah.core.greetings;

public interface Greeter {
    public String greet();
}

----

and the default implementation that I want wired in:

package com.blah.core.greetings.impl;

import javax.annotation.PostConstruct;
import javax.enterprise.inject.Default;

import com.blah.core.greetings.Greeter;

@Default
public class EnglishGreeter implements Greeter {

    private static final String POLITE_ENGLISH_GREETING = "Hello!!";

    @Override
    public String greet() {
        return POLITE_ENGLISH_GREETING;
    }

    @PostConstruct
    private void init() {
        System.out.println("* * * * * * * * * * ");
        System.out.println("* * * * * * * * * * ");
        System.out.println("* * * * * * * * * * ");
        System.out.println("* * * * * * * * * * ");
    }

}
