[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-169) Remove the 'No type variable in event objects' restriction

[Pete Muir (Commented) (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-169?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12639733#comment-12639733 ] 

Pete Muir commented on CDI-169:
-------------------------------

I should clarify that this is following the CDI 1.0 spec, which doesn't allow Weld to look at the type of the event injection, but only at the type of the event object.

> CDI 10.1 states:
> An event object is an instance of a concrete Java class with no type variables. ... An event type may not contain a type variable.
> Which seems silly considering the container fires events with a type variable at startup. I can't think of any reason why this should be prohibited.
