> As of the CDI 1.0 specification, the name of the Reception attribute on @Observes is "receive". The patch release of the API (SP1) changes the name to "notifyObserver", so a change is already being considered. Therefore, I'd like to suggest a better name that would read more fluently. That name is "notified".
> Let us compare the three cases:
> 1. @Observes(receive = IF_EXISTS)
> 2. @Observes(notifyObserver = IF_EXISTS)
> 3. @Observes(notified = IF_EXISTS)
> Of the three, notifyObserver breaks the flow of the sentence the most. On the other hand, notified reads nicely, including with the TransactionPhase attribute included:
> @Observes(notified = IF_EXISTS, during = TransactionPhase.AFTER_SUCCESS)
