[cdi-dev] Contexts behavior in SE and Async Event for EDR1

[Mark Struberg]

The Request context is not needed by the eventing system itself. But tons of usercode around needs the requestcontext to be set up and active. This is the default for almost every spec definedmanaged bean invocation. So we should rather not change this for async events neither. If we change this then you could not reuse lots of existing code in your new async observer.

The lifecycle is rather easy to define: it starts shortly before the async method (including interceptors/decorators/etc) gets started and ends afterwards.

We have the Event payload, which is shared (and AFAIK also still mutable) and can be used to represent the common context as well, for both synch or asynch event cases. Adding a parallel "context" does not necessarily make things easier IMO, because you have to exactly define what a request in that sense is, when does it start, where does it end, how it is propagated/stacked etc. So my question is: what is the benefit of defining the request scope additional to the event payload already in place?
