[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-277) Clarify inheritance behavior of observer methods

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-277?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.sy... ] Mark Struberg commented on CDI-277: ----------------------------------- There is another paragraph in the spec where this gets covered: {quote} 10.2. Observer resolution An event is delivered to an observer method if: • The observer method belongs to an enabled bean. {quote} In my opinion the following must get clarified: 1.) This bullet clearly disables veto() beans from receiving Observers, right? 2.) @Alternative has no influence on Observers at all! They do not disable beans but only affect the resolution process. 3.) A @Specializes class Y must be a subclass of another class X. If X defines an observer method then this is also part of class Y and thus will get called. 4.) Any Reception.ALWAYS Observer method in X will NOT create a contextual instance of X but _only_ of type Y (as X is not an enabled bean) What I'm asking me is how one can disable a private observer method in it's superclass or a static observer method at all ^^ Probably only via Extensions. What if there are 2 Observer methods, both private and with the exact same name and signature, but in different levels in the class hierarchy? Guess both will get triggered, right? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
