[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (CDI-169) Remove the 'No type variable in event objects' restriction
[
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-169?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.sy...
]
Stuart Douglas commented on CDI-169:
------------------------------------
The way the spec is worded I don't really know if this is the case. At runtime due to
type erasure there is not really such a thing as SomeObject<Concrete>, there is only
SomeObject, so the actual event object that is fired has a type parameter (and in fact
Weld checks this when injecting Event objects and will not allow you to inject
Event<SomeType<ConcreteType>>, so it appears I am not the only one that has
read it this way).
At the very least this language should be clarified.
Remove the 'No type variable in event objects' restriction
----------------------------------------------------------
Key: CDI-169
URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-169
Project: CDI Specification Issues
Issue Type: Feature Request
Affects Versions: 1.0
Reporter: Stuart Douglas
CDI 10.1 states:
An event object is an instance of a concrete Java class with no type variables. ... An
event type may not contain a type variable.
Which seems silly considering the container fires events with a type variable at startup.
I can't think of any reason why this should be prohibited.
