Stuart Douglas commented on CDI-17:
-----------------------------------
Calling it notifyObserver in the SP1 release was a bug, SP2 fixed this and
changed it to receive.
This broke backwards compatibility in a big way, as many jars compiled against
the latest CDI-API no longer work with weld 1.0 and visa versa, which has been
a big problem for extension developers. I don't think the difference between
recieve and notified is significant enough to be worth breaking backward
compatibility for.
> Change name of the @Observes Reception attribute to "notified"

> Key: CDI-17
> URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/CDI-17
> Project: CDI Specification Issues
> Issue Type: Feature Request
> Components: Javadoc and API
> Affects Versions: 1.0
> Reporter: Dan Allen
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.1
>
>
> As of the CDI 1.0 specification, the name of the Reception attribute on
> @Observes is "receive". The patch release of the API (SP1) changes the name
> to "notifyObserver", so a change is already being considered. Therefore, I'd
> like to suggest a better name that would read more fluently. That name is
> "notified".
> Let us compare the three cases:
> 1. @Observes(receive = IF_EXISTS)
> 2. @Observes(notifyObserver = IF_EXISTS)
> 3. @Observes(notified = IF_EXISTS)
> Of the three, notifyObserver breaks the flow of the sentence the most. On the
> other hand, notified reads nicely, including with the TransactionPhase
> attribute included:
> @Observes(notified = IF_EXISTS, during = TransactionPhase.AFTER_SUCCESS)
