  DeltaSpike scheduler module is unable to import weld context
  classes
  

Problem conclusion

• When using the DeltaSpike Sheduler module, a ClassNotFound
  exception was thrown as the scheduler module directly imports a
  couple of CDI implementation packages: org.jboss.weld.context
  and org.jboss.weld.context.bound. The fix is to export these
  packages as Third Party APIs.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix
  pack 8.5.5.8. Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for
  delivery information:
  http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27004980
  

Temporary fix

• The workaround is to copy the Weld OSGi bundle (name starting
  with com.ibm.ws.weld-osgi-bundle), from the Liberty installation
  'lib' directory to a different folder and then make that folder
  as a shared library. Please refer to IBM Knowledge Center
  (https://www-
  01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSD28V_8.5.5/com.ibm.webspher
  e.wlp.core.doc/ae/cwlp_sharedlibrary.html) for more details.
