Re: [weld-dev] proper handling of Events for beans in inactive Contexts?

April, 2010 16:43 Uhr Mark has pointed out that for Reception.ALWAYS he agrees that an exception should be thrown, but that for Reception.IF_EXISTS he thinks that an exception should not be thrown. I agree this is certainly a nicer way for the programmer to work (and is semantically correct IMO). I think the spec should be clarified to state that this the case, in the meantime we will implement this in Weld. https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/WELD-480 On 9 Apr 2010, at 15:04, Pete Muir wrote: > I believe it's fairly clear that a ContextNotActiveException will be thrown.
