Re: [cdi-dev] What about @AsyncObserves ?

Am 19.03.2015 um 17:19 schrieb Antoine Sabot-Durand <antoine(a)sabot-durand.net&gt;: The killer argument is that nobody succeed to provide a way to prevent opt-in and keep backward compaibility. The problem comes from the fact that producer and consumer can be in different jar compiled with different version of CDI and running on CDI 2.0 preventing using opt-out. If you have the solution without opt-in I’m all ears. > Le 19 mars 2015 à 16:52, José Paumard <jose.paumard(a)gmail.com&gt; a écrit : > > > So it seems impossible to avoid opt-in on the observer side > What is the "killer" argument for that ? > > José > > 2015-03-19 16:44 GMT+01:00 Antoine Sabot-Durand <antoine(a)sabot-durand.net&gt;: > >> Le 19 mars 2015 à 15:51, Romain Manni-Bucau <rmannibucau(a)gmail.com&gt; a écrit : >> >> sounds like a quick and dirty solution to me. @Async will arrive > > Yes like in “Async is coming” ;) > >> - maybe too early today - but adding @ObservesAsync just cause we dont have yet @Async will make this API obselete pretty quickly isn't it (already cause of EJB actually). > > and if we add an @Async in our spec you think it’s better ? > >> >> Do we really want this feature at this price? > > #1 requested feature by users. > >> If yes AsyncObserves sounds an acceptable compromise but still will mess up the API IMO. > > The question is “Is it more or less messy than @Async @Observes?"

Some of us (including me) don’t want to add an @Async annotation to CDI spec, so perhaps we should add an async alternative to @Observes with an @AsyncObserves or @ObservesAsync ? >> >> So it would be >> >> public void myObserver(@AsyncObserves payload) {} >> >> instead of >> >> @Async >> public void myObserver(@Observes payload) {} >> >> >> Pros : >> - it’s a cleaner way to manage the opt-in than to put 2 annotations or add a member to an existing one >> - it could have new members related to async behavior (context propagation, concurrent scenario, etc…) >> - As it won’t be in legacy code no risk to see old observers called asynchronously >> >> Cons : >> - Still not clear for users when fire() is called to see @AsyncObserves launched synchronously >> - Yet another annotation added >> >> wdyt ? >> >> Antoine >> >> _______________________________________________ >> cdi-dev mailing list >> cdi-dev(a)lists.jboss.org >> https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/cdi-dev >> >> Note that for all code provided on this list, the provider licenses the code under the Apache License, Version 2 (http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html).
