[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-20) @Observes(propagate = false) - stop event propagation after being handled by an observer

Jens Schumann commented on CDI-20:
----------------------------------

I personally would love to see more something like Provider<X> or Instance<X>, which is way more consistent to the current CDI/@Inject behavior. Due to the catch/solder merge I was unable to find "catch".

So I would go for something like

public void onEvent(@Observes @QualifierA @QualifierB EventTarget<X> event) {
 
}

where the (name TBD) "EventTarget" interface allows me to stop event propagation and access the event payload. EventTarget is obviously not right name though.

> I would like to have the ability to stop event propagation after it is handled by any observer only for certain situations.  Is it possible to add a property to the annotation indicating whether the propagation should continue after being handled by the observer?  Alternatively, would it be more concise to add a qualifier annotation which specifies the propagation.
