    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-277?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12726329#comment-12726329 ] 

Jozef Hartinger commented on CDI-277:
-------------------------------------

{quote} 1.) This bullet clearly disables veto() beans from receiving Observers, right? {quote}

A vetoed bean is definitely not an enabled bean so this is clear IMHO.

{quote}2.) @Alternative has no influence on Observers at all! They do not disable beans but only affect the resolution process.{quote}

{quote}A bean is said to be enabled if:  it is not an alternative, or it is a selected alternative of at least one bean archive.{quote}

{quote}An event is delivered to an observer method if:  The observer method belongs to an enabled bean.{quote}

So from there I would say that @Alternatives do have influence on observers.

> Chapter 4.2 of the (1.0) spec misses a bullet point about inheritance of observer methods.
> Either

> Don't know, what's right through...
