[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-518) Clarify boundaries of the ServletContext event

Clarify boundaries of the ServletContext event ---------------------------------------------- Key: CDI-518 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-518 Project: CDI Specification Issues Issue Type: Clarification Components: Events Reporter: Jozef Hartinger Fix For: 2.0 (discussion) {quote} An event with qualifier @Initialized(ApplicationScoped.class) is fired when the application context is initialized and an event with qualifier @Destroyed(ApplicationScoped.class) is fired when the application is destroyed. The event payload is: • the ServletContext if the application is a web application deployed to a Servlet container, or Conversation context lifecycle • any java.lang.Object for other types of application. {quote} Unlike dependency injection, the spec does not define any visibility boundaries for events. It could therefore be implied that in an EAR a web application could observe the ServletContext event for a different web application. This obviously does not seem right and the spec should explicitly define the expected behavior.
