[webbeans-dev] syntax problem in @Observes annotation

[Dan Allen]

In section 10.5.4 and 10.5.6, the spec requires that the @Observes
annotation define a notify parameter which accepts the Notify enum. However,
the Java compiler does not allow an annotation to define a method named
notify().

public @interface Observes
{
    Notify notify() default Notify.SYNCHRONOUSLY;
}

This annotation parameter will need to be renamed. I suggest
"notifyObserver".

public void observerMethod(@Observes(notifyObserver=IF_EXISTS) EventType
event)
