Re: [webbeans-dev] event type with type variable

No, the spec prohibits type variables in event objects and event types, it doesn't prohibit type parameters. This isn't legal public class Foo{ @Produces <T> Bar make(@Any Event<T> event) { ... } and we do need to error at deployment time for such a declaration. Do we?

What you show *is* valid. It's also not valid to actually pass an event object with a type variable, but it's extremely hard to actually find code that will compile and pass the above deployment test, but still do this and do this so I can't find an example right now ;-) On 24 Jul 2009, at 17:28, Dan Allen wrote: > In several places, the specification reiterates that an event type > may not contain a type variable.
