[weld-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (CDI-17) Change name of the @Observes Reception attribute to "notified"

Change name of the @Observes Reception attribute to "notified" -------------------------------------------------------------- Key: CDI-17 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/CDI-17 Project: CDI Specification Issues Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Javadoc and API Affects Versions: 1.0 Reporter: Dan Allen Priority: Minor Fix For: 1.1 As of the CDI 1.0 specification, the name of the Reception attribute on @Observes is "receive". The patch release of the API (SP1) changes the name to "notifyObserver", so a change is already being considered. Therefore, I'd like to suggest a better name that would read more fluently. That name is "notified". Let us compare the three cases: 1. @Observes(receive = IF_EXISTS) 2. @Observes(notifyObserver = IF_EXISTS) 3. @Observes(notified = IF_EXISTS) Of the three, notifyObserver breaks the flow of the sentence the most. On the other hand, notified reads nicely, including with the TransactionPhase attribute included: @Observes(notified = IF_EXISTS, during = TransactionPhase.AFTER_SUCCESS)
