[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-633?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.sy... ] Sven Linstaedt commented on CDI-633: ------------------------------------ Some enhancement like that, yeah. A similar solution was already stated in CDI-493 and CDI-516. This new API enhancement should accept any {{java.lang.reflect.Type}}, that does not contain a TypeVariable, but will throw an {{IllegalArgumentException}} otherwise. Of course only the raw type of the event object could only be checked against the type parameter for consistency, so we loose a good amount of type safety here. But as these API is primary meant to be used by extensions like the majority of {{BeanManager}} methods, at least I am fine with it. In addition the original methods ({{fireEvent(event, qualifiers)}} and {{resolveObserverMethods(event, qualifiers)}}) must be kept for backward compability and probably will keep the use the event object's class for resolution, which implies the event class must not have any type variable as this will cause the documented {{IllegalArgumentException}}. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.11#64026)
