[cdi-dev] Thoughts on Phases and Events for the Security spec

Hi all, The CDI spec defines the "Transactional observer methods" (§10.4.5) with a TransactionPhase : public enum TransactionPhase { IN_PROGRESS, BEFORE_COMPLETION, AFTER_COMPLETION, AFTER_FAILURE, AFTER_SUCCESS } void onDocumentUpdate(@Observes(*during=AFTER_SUCCESS*) @Updated Document doc) { ... } Now that there is a new Security specification coming along, it would be helpful to be able to *observe before/after the user logs-in or logs-out*, for example. First I thought "well, the Security spec defines a set of events, fires them, and we just have to observe them". But what about the "during" phase ? What would make more sense in such use case ? Using the same "during" mechanism or events ? public enum LoginPhase { BEFORE_LOGIN, AFTER_LOGIN, BEFORE_LOGOUT, AFTER_LOGOUT, } void onLogout(@Observes(*during=BEFORE_LOGOUT*) User user) { ... } Any thoughts ? -- Antonio Goncalves Software architect, Java Champion and Pluralsight author Web site <http://www.antoniogoncalves.org> | Twitter <http://twitter.com/agoncal> | LinkedIn <http://www.linkedin.com/in/agoncal> | Pluralsight <http://pluralsight.com/training/Authors/Details/antonio-goncalves> | Paris JUG <http://www.parisjug.org> | Devoxx France <http://www.devoxx.fr>
