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 ?
