CDI beans without faces-config.xml

I want to use CDI beans into JSF application. I'm interested is there any possible way to avoid the bean declaration into faces-config.xml file. I want to use annotations to declare the beans similar to JSF beans. Is there any possible solution?

There is no need to declare CDI beans anywhere (except for the according annotation on the injection point). All you need is a beans.xml - it may as well be empty - either in the META-INF or in the WEB-INF folder of your war.

For web applications it is a common practice to put the beans.xml in the WEB-INF folder.

Here you can find a nice explanation of the technical background.
