CDI API regression: Observes.notifyObserver has been changed to Observes.receive
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: WELD-699
URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/WELD-699
Project: Weld
Issue Type: Bug
Components: CDI API
Affects Versions: 1.1.0.Beta1
Reporter: Sivakumar Thyagarajan
In the Weld 1.1 Beta 1 release, the @Observes API has an annotation element
changed. This is an incompatible API change and would break existing clients.
-- The original API for @Observes --
public interface javax.enterprise.event.Observes extends
java.lang.annotation.Annotation{
public abstract javax.enterprise.event.Reception notifyObserver();
public abstract javax.enterprise.event.TransactionPhase during();
}
-- The original API for @Observes --
and now it is:
-- The new API for @Observes --
public interface javax.enterprise.event.Observes extends
java.lang.annotation.Annotation{
public abstract javax.enterprise.event.Reception receive();
public abstract javax.enterprise.event.TransactionPhase during();
}
-- The new API for @Observes --
Notice the renaming of "notifyObserver" to "receive". The original name for the
annotation element "notifyObserver" has been published earlier as part of Java
EE 6 javadoc [1]. However in the JSR 299 specification, the annotation element
is referred to as "receives" (See Section 10.4.3) and hence I think this have
been renamed as part of WELD-455 [2].
Please revert this change in API.
