[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-541) Ordering of async observers (vs sync observers) is not specified

[Martin Kouba (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-541?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13125311#comment-13125311 ] 

Martin Kouba commented on CDI-541:
----------------------------------

bq. But there is not really a way to tell that the async observer has finished its work...
It is. Async observers with different priorities will have to be notified serially. An observer finishes its work when the {{notify()}} method completes.

> I think this needs to be specified. E.g. what happens if I fire async event and have more matching sync and async observers? Are all sync observes called first in given order with no regard to async observers priority? 
> For example:
> {{event.fireAsync(new Message());}}
> {code}
> public class First {
>   
>    void observeMessage(@Observes @Priority(2000) Message message){} 
> }
> {code}
> {code}
> public class Second {
>   
>    void observeMessage(@ObservesAsync @Priority(2100) Message message){} 
> }
> {code}
> {code}
> public class Third {
>   
>    void observeMessage(@Observes @Priority(2200) Message message){} 
> }
> {code}
> {code}
> public class Fourth {
>   
>    void observeMessage(@ObservesAsync @Priority(2300) Message message){} 
> }
> {code}
> What will be the order in this case? First, Third, Second, Fourth?
