Martin Kouba commented on CDI-20:
---------------------------------

I'm not so sure it's a good idea to allow any observer to abort processing of an event. This would be another way to kill the original concept of decoupled interactiion. Ordering might be sometimes handy but to allow to abort the processing seems to me a bit too much. For some use cases it might be better to implement a mutable thread-safe event payload with a flag (as mentioned above) and let the observers handle this alone (e.g. the first one marks the payload as handled and others just skip the processing).

> 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.
