[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-4?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.syst... ] Mark Struberg commented on CDI-4: --------------------------------- If I understood correctly, then your proposal relies that you have to know the other/all the other observer(s) in your 'before' Observers. If you don't call this coupling, well... and what if you add another jar with another bean having another @Observes BusEvent? How to make sure your beforeInit also runs _before_ this new observer? Really, go back to the Portland Pattern Repository or the GoF Design Patterns book and check the Observer/Observable pattern. The whole idea/mechanism is built based on the paradigma that all the involved parties know NOTHNING about each other. Having some hardcoded before/after stuff is imo really just an obfuscated method call without any further aid. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
