Review all read methods at configurators ---------------------------------------- Key: CDI-614 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-614 Project: CDI Specification Issues Issue Type: Clarification Affects Versions: 2.0-EDR2 Reporter: Tomas Remes Fix For: 2.0 .Final Currently there are several read methods used to initialize given configurator. These methods are at: * {{BeanConfigurator}} * {{InjectionPointConfigurator}} * {{ObserverMethodConfigurator}} I think we should review all of them. I don't understand to usage or let say additional value of the following ones: * {{ObserverMethodConfigurator#read(javax.enterprise.inject.spi.ObserverMethod<T>)}} This allows you to add new observer method based on exsiting one. Although when you want to define some observed type (of this new method) you need to specify subtype of the original type or you will end up with ClassCastException. Then there are those at {{InjectionPointConfigurator}} which appears to me completely useless: * {{InjectionPointConfigurator#read(java.lang.reflect.Field)}} * {{InjectionPointConfigurator#read(java.lang.reflect.Parameter)}} * {{InjectionPointConfigurator#read(javax.enterprise.inject.spi.AnnotatedField<?>)}} * {{InjectionPointConfigurator#read(javax.enterprise.inject.spi.AnnotatedParameter<?>)}} * {{InjectionPointConfigurator#read(javax.enterprise.inject.spi.InjectionPoint)}} AFAIK the {{InjectionPointConfigurator}} is available only during {{ProcessInjectionPoint}} lifecycle event. My question is why should I use any of these during this lifecycle event since I can easily call {{event.configureInjectionPoint()}}? Do we want to allow to configure different injection point in non corresponding {{ProcessInjectionPoint}} lifecycle event?
