[weld-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (WELD-699) CDI API regression: Observes.notifyObserver has been changed to Observes.receive

CDI API regression: Observes.notifyObserver has been changed to Observes.receive -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: WELD-699 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/WELD-699 Project: Weld Issue Type: Bug Components: CDI API Affects Versions: 1.1.0.Beta1 Reporter: Sivakumar Thyagarajan Priority: Critical Fix For: 1.1.0.Beta2 Attachments: WELD-699-cdi-api-change.diff In the Weld 1.1 Beta 1 release, the @Observes API has an annotation element changed. This is an incompatible API change and would break existing clients. -- The original API for @Observes -- public interface javax.enterprise.event.Observes extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation{ public abstract javax.enterprise.event.Reception notifyObserver(); public abstract javax.enterprise.event.TransactionPhase during(); } -- The original API for @Observes -- and now it is: -- The new API for @Observes -- public interface javax.enterprise.event.Observes extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation{ public abstract javax.enterprise.event.Reception receive(); public abstract javax.enterprise.event.TransactionPhase during(); } -- The new API for @Observes -- Notice the renaming of "notifyObserver" to "receive". The original name for the annotation element "notifyObserver" has been published earlier as part of Java EE 6 javadoc [1]. However in the JSR 299 specification, the annotation element is referred to as "receives" (See Section 10.4.3) and hence I think this have been renamed as part of WELD-455 [2]. Please revert this change in API. [1] http://download.oracle.com/javaee/6/api/javax/enterprise/event/Observes.h... [2] https://jira.jboss.org/browse/WELD-455
