Clarify that observers can't be remote business method ------------------------------------------------------- Key: CDI-545 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-545 Project: CDI Specification Issues Issue Type: Clarification Components: Java EE integration Affects Versions: 1.2.Final Reporter: Antoine Sabot-Durand Fix For: 2.0 .Final In section 10.4 of 1.2 spec we have: {quote} If the bean is a session bean, the observer method must be either a business method of the EJB or a static method of the bean class. {quote} in 10.4.2 we also have: {quote} If a non-static method of a session bean class has a parameter annotated {{@Observes}}, and the method is not a business method of the EJB, the container automatically detects the problem and treats it as a definition error. {quote} This 2 assertions don't prevent an observer to be a business method of a remote client of an EJB. We should be more precise here and forbid this scenario.
