<cheatsheet title="CDI + Servlet: Helloworld quickstart">
    <intro>
        <description>
            This quickstart demonstrates the use of CDI 1.0 and Servlet 3.0. It is a simple application that can be used to verify the JBoss EAP server is configured and running correctly.
            <br />
            <br />
            <b>CDI</b>
            <br />
            <br />
            Contexts and Dependency Injection (CDI) defines a set of complementary services that help improve the structure of application code. CDI provides type-safe dependency injection and shrinks the application code base by replace large sections of code with annotations. It also simplifies packaging and deployments and provides lifecycle management
            via contexts.
            <br />
            <br />
            <b>Servlet 3.0</b>
            <br />
            Servlet 3.0 introduces @Servlet, @ServletFilter, @FilterMapping, and other annotations to ease development of servlet applications.

        <description>
            The helloworld application is a simple example that helps you get started with Java EE. This example demonstrates CDI and uses a servlet for the user interface.
            <br />
            <br />
            As usual, let&apos;s start by looking at the necessary deployment descriptors.
            By now, we're very used to seeing
            <b>beans.xml</b>
            in
            <b>WEB-INF/</b>
            , which can be found in the
            <b>src/main/webapp</b>
            directory of the example.
            Notice that we don&apos;t need a
            <b>web.xml</b>
            file.
            This example does not contain a JSF file. The user interface is provided by the servlet.
