[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-650) Introduce asynchronous event notification options

[Martin Kouba (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-650?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13327551#comment-13327551 ] 

Martin Kouba commented on CDI-650:
----------------------------------

The idea is to define "typesafe portable options" (only {{NotificationOptions.getExecutor()}} for CDI 2.0) and still allow the implementations to support non-portable/non-standardized options (by means of {{NotificationOptions.get()}}).

> Currently, it's only possible to provide a custom executor when firing an event asynchronously - see also {{javax.enterprise.event.Event.fireAsync(U, Executor)}}. It might be useful to provide other implementation-specific options, e.g. notification timeout.
> Therefore, I suggest to introduce {{NotificationOptions}} interface:
> {code:java}
> public interface NotificationOptions {
>     Executor getExecutor();
>     // Implementation-specific options
>     Object get(String optionName);
> }
> {code}
> and change the method signature to:
> {code:java}
> <U extends T> CompletionStage<U>  fireAsync(U event, NotificationOptions options);
> {code}
> In the future, if any implementation-specific configuration proves to be useful and worth standardizing, we may simply add a new method to {{NotificationOptions}}, e.g. 
> {code:java}
> Duration getTimeout();
> {code}
> instead of adding more and more params to {{Event.fireAsync()}}.
> We could also introduce some convenient static methods on {{NotificationOptions}}, e.g.:
> {code:java}
> void fireEvents(Event event, Executor executor) {
>     event.fireAsync(new Foo(), NotificationOptions.ofExecutor(executor));
> }
> {code}
