[cdi-dev] Scoped CDI Events?

[Adam Bien]

Hi *,

it would mean:

If you are sending an event from a @RequestScoped bean all @SessionScoped observes (= all sessions) would receive that? Or more precisely ALL observes are intended to receive an event regardless of their scope?

If so: in the spec an injection of @Dependent Event is mentioned:

"10.3.2. The built-in Event
The container must provide a built-in bean with:

	• Event<X> in its set of bean types, for every Java type X that does not contain a type variable,

	• every event qualifier type in its set of qualifier types,

>>	• scope @Dependent, <<

	• no bean EL name, and

	• an implementation provided automatically by the container.

..."

It implies, that only observes belonging to the same scope would be notified. Otherwise this information is irrelevant,


thanks!,

adam

In CDI 1.1 qualifier matching rules will likely change: "The observer method has no event qualifiers or has a subset of the event qualifiers".
