Pete Muir commented on SOLDER-50:
---------------------------------

The comment is there to try to make people pass the BM reference around explicitly, not rely on lookup. We can reword it.

> The BeanManagerAware#getBeanManager() method currently throws an IllegalArgumentException when the BeanManager cannot be found by any provider. Because this exception is so generic, it's dangerous to bundle the lookup with other code because you aren't sure whether the IllegalArgumentException came from the BeanManager lookup or from a subsequent call, as in:
> try {
>    BeanManager beanManager = BeanManagerAccessor.getBeanManager();
>    beanManager.fireEvent(payload);
> }
> catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
>    // what caused this?
> }
> Introduce a specialized checked exception for this unique failure. The proposed name is BeanManagerNotAvailable (or BeanManagerNotFound)
