# Getting Started

If you are completely new to CDI then you might want to take a look at the following introductory articles

  - [How CDI works](cdi_explained.html)
  - [Adding OpenWebBeans to your JavaSE project](owbsetup_se.html)
  - [Adding OpenWebBeans to Apache Tomcat](owbsetup_tomcat.html)
  - [Adding OpenWebBeans to your Servlet Container project](owbsetup_ee.html)
  - [OpenWebBeans as part of JavaEE Containers](owb-eecontainers.html)
  - [OpenWebBeans configuration](owbconfig.html)
  - [FAQ](faq.html)

There are several Application Containers which come with Apache OpenWebBeans as their core CDI container

# OpenWebBeans Plugin Structure

OpenWebBeans consists of a core system which heavily uses SPIs (Service Provider Interfaces)
to extend it's functionality. The core system itself is purely JavaSE based
and does not need any further dependency. All special JavaEE features get added via 
separate plugins.
