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

[Pete Muir (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-169?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12630726#comment-12630726 ] 

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

This is a bug in Weld :-( Kevin just wrote a test for it. Stuart is right. I also don't really know why it was specified this way, it would have been better to take the type of the Event<> object and use that. In fact in Weld, we had to hack around this in a number of cases.

> 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.
