[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-75) Clarify what happens to a bean which belongs to inactive when it observes an event

[Pete Muir (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-75?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12718248#comment-12718248 ] 

Pete Muir commented on CDI-75:
------------------------------

I would propose implementing this by ANDing any values supplied, and calling out illegal combinations:

* ALWAYS - legal
* IF_EXISTS - legal
* IF_ACTIVE - legal
* ALWAYS, IF_EXISTS - illegal
* ALWAYS, IF_ACTIVE - illegal
* IF_EXISTS, IF_ACTIVE - legal
* IF_EXISTS, IF_ACTIVE, ALWAYS - illegal

An illegal combination would be a definition error.

Let's also thing about names. IF_ACTIVE is nice (it has a precedent with IF_EXISTS) however it's not overly accurate (it refers to the context being active), however IF_EXISTS is the same, it refers to whether an instance of the bean defining the observer exists.
