[seam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (SEAMCATCH-23) Handlers without qualifiers should be notified even if ExceptionToCatch has qualifiers

Handlers without qualifiers should be notified even if ExceptionToCatch has qualifiers -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: SEAMCATCH-23 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/SEAMCATCH-23 Project: Seam Catch Issue Type: Bug Components: Core Implementation Affects Versions: Alpha2 Reporter: Dan Allen Assignee: Jason Porter Fix For: Alpha3 Qualifiers are meant to narrow the handlers that are invoked (in the same way as observers). Less specific handlers (particularly handlers without any qualifiers) should be notified if the set of qualifiers on the handler are a subset of the qualifiers on the exception payload. Currently Catch fails this assertion. Let's assume that the following exception (of type Throwable) is sent to Catch: beanManager.fireEvent(new ExceptionToCatch(e, new AnnotationLiteral<WebRequest>() {})); The following two handlers should match: void handleAny(@Handles CaughtException<Throwable> caught) {} void handleForWebRequest(@Handles @WebRequest CaughtException<Throwable> caught) {} However, the following handler would not be invoked because it's qualifiers are not a subset of the qualifiers on the exception payload: void handleForRestRequest(@Handles @RestRequest CaughtException<Throwable> caught) {} For reference, see JSR-299, Section 10.2.3: Multiple event qualifiers
