Sven Linstaedt commented on CDI-633:
------------------------------------
[~manovotn] Not completely: {{javax.enterprise.event.Event<T>}} is meant for
application driven event triggering. In order to narrow down the event type, you can
either specify a {{java.lang.Class<T>}} or a for generics a
{{javax.enterprise.util.TypeLiteral<U>}}.
As an extension developer, {{Event<T>}} is not sufficient as you can neither
# resolve {{Event<T>}} before{{AfterDeploymentValidation}} nor
# narrow down the event type by an extension-resolved {{java.lang.reflect.Type}}, which
can not be hardcoded using {{TypeLiteral<U>}} as the static type is not known to the
extension and TypeLiteral was not meant for being created out of some unknown {{Type}}.
So there is still a need for extending the existing method {{BeanManager#fire}} and of
course keeping it backwards compatible as mentioned in CDI-493.
Intoroduce BeanManager.event()

Key: CDI-633
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-633
Project: CDI Specification Issues
Issue Type: Feature Request
Reporter: Martin Kouba
Fix For: 2.0 (discussion)
* this would allow to define the _specified type_ - the container may use the specified
type to infer the parameterized type of the event types
* the method should return {{javax.enterprise.event.Event<Object>}} with no
qualifiers
