While there isn't currently any productised offering for CDI itself (i.e. it's unsupported), it is still possible to use it as the component framework for your EAP-based application thanks to the Weld-servlet library. What's even better is that it requires absolutely no configuration changes to the default EAP installation - CDI based applications can be deployed straight to it and will work out of the box.

Whilst at JUDCon 2010:Berlin, Michael Schuetz interviewed me about Seam 3. We covered the current status of the project, development challenges and what you can expect from Seam 3. You can read the whole interview here
