[Martin Kouba (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-277?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12726324#comment-12726324 ] 

Martin Kouba commented on CDI-277:
----------------------------------

Arne,

I don't get what's missing (WRT the issue description) - the spec states in "4.2. Inheritance of member-level metadata":
{quote}
* If X declares an initializer, _non-static observer_, @PostConstruct or @PreDestroy method x() then Y inherits x() if and only if neither Y nor any intermediate class that is a subclass of X and a superclass of Y overrides the method x().
(This behavior is defined by the Common Annotations for the Java Platform specification.)

> Chapter 4.2 of the (1.0) spec misses a bullet point about inheritance of observer methods.
> Either
> - If X declares a non-static observer method x() then Y does inherit this method.
> or
> - If X declares a non-static observer method x() then Y does not inherit this method.
> (This behavior is different to what is defined in the Common Annotations for the Java Platform specification.)
> should be added.
> Don't know, what's right through...
