When exactly are events with @Initialized(X.class) and @Destroyed(X.class) qualifiers fired ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: CDI-625 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-625 Project: CDI Specification Issues Issue Type: Clarification Components: Events Reporter: Martin Kouba Assignee: Martin Kouba Labels: F2F2016 Fix For: 2.0 .Final The spec states that {{(a)Initialized(X.class)}} is fired when a context is initialized and {{(a)Destroyed(X.class)}} when a context is destroyed (note that for {{@ApplicationScoped}} the wording leaves out the context: _"when the application is destroyed"_). Does it mean that: * {{(a)Initialized(X.class)}} is fired *after the initialization* of a context is finished, i.e. the context is ready? * {{(a)Destroyed(X.class)}} is fired *after the destruction* of a context is finished, i.e. after all the beans are destroyed? I'm asking because for {{(a)Destroyed(X.class)}} it might be useful to perform some cleanup before the context is actually destroyed - see also CDI-601. In RI/Weld, the behaivour of {{(a)Destroyed(ApplicationScoped.class)}} is currently a little bit inconsistent. For webapps and Weld SE, the event is fired before the context is destroyed. But for non-web EE modules (e.g. ejb jar) the event is fired after the context is destroyed. I believe this should be more clear.
