[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (CDI-137) Changing ProcessManagedBean getBean Method Signature

Changing ProcessManagedBean getBean Method Signature ---------------------------------------------------- Key: CDI-137 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-137 Project: CDI Specification Issues Issue Type: Bug Components: Portable Extensions Affects Versions: 1.0 Reporter: Gurkan Erdogdu Fix For: 1.1 (Confirmed) Currently ProcessSessionBean class signature is public class ProcessSessionBean<T> extends ProcessManagedBean<Object>{} Therefore, observers work as Example: @Stateless public class Elephant{} public void observe(ProcessBean<Elephant>) --> Not allowed public void observe(ProcessSessionBean<Elephant>) --> Allowed Pete said that main reason of using ProcessManagedBean<Object> is that "ProcessBean<X> offers a method getBean() which returns Bean<X>. Bean<X> has a method of type create() which returns an X. If we were to have ProcessSessionBean<X> extend ProcessManagedBean<X> then this would imply that you can create something of type, which in the case of a session bean is the bean class (which can't be created for EJBs with local or remote business interfaces). So ProcessSessionBean is correct as is." Main reason of using the ProcessSessionBean event is to observe "Session Bean Class" registration, not the observe for the session bean local interface/s. Moreover, other methods in the interface hierarchy of "ProcessSessionBean" gets <X> into the account, for example AnnotatedType<X> getAnnotatedBeanClass() Returns the AnnotatedType representing the bean class. Therefore, it is more convenient to change "ProcessManagedBean getBean" method decleration as public <T> Bean<T> getBean(); where T is the local/local view interface of the session bean. And change the ProcessSessionBean signature as public class ProcessSessionBean<X> extends ProcessManagedBean<X>{} Also See https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDITCK-215
