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

[Martin Kouba (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-169?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12630736#comment-12630736 ] 

Martin Kouba commented on CDI-169:
----------------------------------

I still don't understand where the bug is. Does spec forbid use of parametrized type as an event payload or not? Right now Weld detects problems on user-defined events only (not container lifecycle events). It's confusing but I'm not sure it is bug.

> 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.
