[seam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Created: (SEAMCATCH-39) @Handles parameter should be permitted in any parameter position

@Handles parameter should be permitted in any parameter position ---------------------------------------------------------------- Key: SEAMCATCH-39 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SEAMCATCH-39 Project: Seam Catch Issue Type: Bug Components: Core Implementation Affects Versions: 3.0.0.Alpha3 Reporter: Dan Allen Assignee: Jason Porter Fix For: 3.0.0.Alpha4 To be consist with CDI observers, the @Handles parameter should be allowed to be used in any position in the list of method arguments. The only restriction is that there is exactly one parameter annotated with @Handles (and it must be of type CaughtException). Here is the relevant section on observer methods for reference: "10.4.2. Declaring an observer method An observer method may be declared by annotating a parameter @javax.enterprise.event.Observes. That parameter is the event parameter. The declared type of the parameter is the observed event type. If a method has more than one parameter annotated @Observes, the container automatically detects the problem and treats it as a definition error." So we should allow: public void handle(BeanManager, @Handles CaughtException<Exception> ex) {} -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
