[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-633) Intoroduce BeanManager.event()

[Matej Novotny (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-633?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13295640#comment-13295640 ] 

Matej Novotny commented on CDI-633:
-----------------------------------

[~tzwoenn] what you describe is what this proposal solves. {{BeanManager#fire}} cannot handle narrowing and does not allow to fire events asynchronously - and we cannot change that because of the famous backward compatibility.

Having {{BeanManager#event}} as a new method on BM will grant you acces to {{Event<Object>}} where you can narrow the type with {{select(...)}} and then {{fire()}} or {{fireAsync}}.

> * this would allow to define the _specified type_ - the container may use the specified type to infer the parameterized type of the event types
> * the method should return {{javax.enterprise.event.Event<Object>}} with no qualifiers
