This also ties in to more general Java SE support for CDI IMO. I would probably prefer to get a general solution sorted, rather than a special case for ACC.

EE 7 - Figure EE.2-1) you see that CDI & DI is in the ACC. But on the other hand, the CDI 1.0 spec (12.1. Bean archives) says "The container is not required to support application client jar bean archives." I tried several time with the appclient from GlassFish, and CDI just doesn't work (wonder if JBoss ACC allows CDI or not). The "is not required" part is frustrating.
