Unable to get CDI and JAX-RS to work together in Glassfish - glassfish

Question

I have to deploy a project that was working successfully in Wildfly to Glassfish. Everything worked fine except for dependency injection of an object in ResponseFilter. The object is Produced in the REST resource handler. I have created a simple project to demonstrate the issue. I have gone through several answers on Stackoverflow. Tried everything and none seem to work.
bean.xml
<beans
xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee/beans_1_1.xsd"
bean-discovery-mode="all">
</beans>
App.java
#ApplicationPath("api")
public class App extends Application {
}
DemoResource.java
#Path("/demo")
public class DemoResource {
#Produces
private Pojo pojo;
#GET
public void demo() {
pojo = new Pojo();
}
}
Pojo.java
#Alternative
public class Pojo {
protected String firstName;
protected String lastName;
}
ResponseFilter.java
#Provider
public class ResponseFilter implements ContainerResponseFilter {
#Inject
private Pojo injectedPojo;
#Override
public void filter(ContainerRequestContext requestContext, ContainerResponseContext responseContext)
throws IOException {
Instance<Pojo> instance = CDI.current().select(Pojo.class);
Pojo uninjectedPojo = null;
if (!instance.isUnsatisfied() && instance.get() != null)
uninjectedPojo = instance.get();
System.out.println("Injected POJO: " + injectedPojo);
System.out.println("Uninjected POJO: " + uninjectedPojo);
}
}
The output in Wildfly log file is:
16:33:58,765 INFO [stdout] (default task-3) Injected POJO: com.example.demo.Pojo#2092c78b
16:33:58,765 INFO [stdout] (default task-3) Uninjected POJO: com.example.demo.Pojo#2092c78b
The output in Glassfish log is:
[2018-02-14T16:36:37.730+0545] [Payara 4.1] [INFO] [] [] [tid: _ThreadID=27 _ThreadName=http-thread-pool::http-listener-1(3)] [timeMillis: 1518605497730] [levelValue: 800] [[Injected POJO: null]]

Answer 1

Add <alternatives> declaration to the beans.xml
<beans ... >
<alternatives>
<class>[package name].Pojo</class>
</alternatives>
</beans>
Or add
#Priority(Interceptor.Priority.APPLICATION+100)
anotion to Pojo class
