javax.enterprise.event

Interface Event<T>

Contents
  • Type Parameters:
    T - the type of the event object

    public interface Event<T>

    Allows the application to fire events of a particular type.

    Beans fire events via an instance of the Event interface, which may be injected: 

     @Inject
 @Any
 Event<LoggedInEvent> loggedInEvent;

    The fire() method accepts an event object: 

     public void login() { 
    ...
    loggedInEvent.fire( new LoggedInEvent(user) );
 }

    Any combination of qualifiers may be specified at the injection point: 

     @Inject
 @Admin
 Event<LoggedInEvent> adminLoggedInEvent;

    Or, the @Any qualifier may be used, allowing the application to specify qualifiers dynamically: 

     @Inject
 @Any
 Event<LoggedInEvent> loggedInEvent;

    For an injected Event:

    • the specified type is the type parameter specified at the injection point, and
    • the specified qualifiers are the qualifiers specified at the injection point.
