Description

I´m getting an Exception in Websphere Application Server 8.5.5.9 when I try to start the SessionScope like this using ContextControl:

@Stateless
@RunAs("scheduled")
public class ScheduledService {

    @Inject
    private DemoConfiguration config; // contains SessionScoped references

    @Inject
    private ContextControl contextControl;

    @Schedule(hour = "*", minute = "*")
    private void doSth() {
        contextControl.startContext(SessionScoped.class);
        // ... use injected config-reference from above
        contextControl.stopContext(SessionScoped.class);
    }

}

The exception is:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/webbeans/config/WebBeansContext at org.apache.deltaspike.cdise.owb.OpenWebBeansContextControl.getContextsService(OpenWebBeansContextControl.java:242) at org.apache.deltaspike.cdise.owb.OpenWebBeansContextControl.startSessionScope(OpenWebBeansContextControl.java:154) at org.apache.deltaspike.cdise.owb.OpenWebBeansContextControl.startContext(OpenWebBeansContextControl.java:80) 

I think this is because of a rather old owb-implementations, that Websphere uses. I found the missing class in another package: org/apache/webbeans/context/WebBeansContext.
