[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-702?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.sy... ] Martin Kouba edited comment on CDI-702 at 5/19/17 7:27 AM: ----------------------------------------------------------- For the record: the *Observer resolution* section in the CDI spec does not mention "accessibility" or "observability" at all (unlike dependency injection). An event is delivered to an observer method if it belongs to an enabled bean and an event type is assignable. Also accessibility rules do not help e.g. if there is an extension with a similar observer: {code:java} void observe(ProcessAnnotatedType<?> event) { if (event.getAnnotatedType().isAnnotationPresent(Named.class)) { event.veto(); } } {code} It should be able to observe all PAT events for all types in a CDI application (of course, we assume the Weld interpretation of {{@ApplicationScoped}}). That's what CDI spec currently requires. So this issue is more about defining boundaries for events delivery. was (Author: mkouba): For the record: the *Observer resolution* section in the CDI spec does not mention "accessibility" or "observability" at all (unlike dependency injection).
