Pete Muir commented on CDI-245:
-------------------------------

Sorry, I hadn't realised that ;-)

>From CDI 1.0 it says

{quote}
Service providers may have observer methods, which may observe any event, including any container lifecycle event, and obtain an injected BeanManager reference.

So, although it's not explicit, it's implied that all you can inject is a BeanManager, IMO.

Also, yes, good point about contexts

> This is not clear right now. The spec allows (does not forbid) extensions to fire regular events via {{BeanManager}} and I believe this should be _the right way_. See also CDI-109 discussion. However we should also state that extensions _may not fire container lifecycle events_ as this could lead to unexpected results (and it's pretty broken imho).
