Arne Limburg commented on CDI-271:
----------------------------------

Just saw, that section 5.5.7 already is changed so that Instance.get() is an injection point.
For this issue it would suffice to add Event.fire() here and to clarify that for Instance.select(...).get() and Event.select(...).fire(...) the InjectionPoint.getType() returns the selected type and InjectionPoint.getQualifiers() contains the selected qualifiers. We don't have to touch the Annotated then.
WDYT?
Shall I write a proposal?

> Currently there is no way for observer methods to access the qualifiers of the fired event (i.e. to access @Nonbinding members).
> Consider the following example:
> {code}
> @Inject @MyQualifier
> Event<MyObject> event;
> public void fireEvent(MyObject object, MyTypeValue type) {
>     event.select(new MyTypeAnnotationLiteral(type)).fire(object);
> }
> {code}
> Currently no observer can receive the value of MyTypeValue. I suggest to introduce an interface AnnotatedEvent that extends Annotated and contains this information. It then could be injected via the InjectionPoint like this:
> {code}
> public void observeEvent(@Observes @MyType MyObject object, InjectionPoint ip) {
>     MyType annotation = ip.getAnnotated().getAnnotation(MyType.class);
>     MyTypeValue value = annotation.value();
>     ...
> }
> {code}
