Well, I go back to the point I don't really know enough to specify it, and have limited time to learn it. Find me someone who does and can help specify it and we can probably specify this.

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.
