[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-518) Clarify boundaries of the ServletContext event

[Jozef Hartinger (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-518?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13052155#comment-13052155 ] 

Jozef Hartinger commented on CDI-518:
-------------------------------------

Do you mean "8.3 Class Loading Requirements"? If so then don't forget that ServletContext is not an application class. Therefore, this needs to be defined explicitly.

> An event with qualifier @Initialized(ApplicationScoped.class) is fired when the application
> context is initialized and an event with qualifier @Destroyed(ApplicationScoped.class) is fired
> when the application is destroyed. The event payload is:
> • the ServletContext if the application is a web application deployed to a Servlet container, or Conversation context lifecycle
> • any java.lang.Object for other types of application.
> {quote}
> Unlike dependency injection, the spec does not define any visibility boundaries for events. It could therefore be implied that in an EAR a web application could observe the ServletContext event for a different web application. This obviously does not seem right and the spec should explicitly define the expected behavior.
