[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (CDI-14) Add instance() method to BeanManager

[Arne Limburg (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-14?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12601715#comment-12601715 ] 

Arne Limburg commented on CDI-14:
---------------------------------

We cannot split the BeanManager more than in 1.0, but we can add new methods (like the method discussed here) somewhere else.

Mark, you can fire an event when you have an Instance<Object>:

{noformat}
Instance<Object> instance = ...
Event<MyEvent> event = instance.select(new TypeLiteral<Event<MyEvent>>() {}.getType()).get();
event.fire(...);
{noformat}

Since event is a bean, this should work.

> Instance<Object> instance();
> would make it much easier.
