Type Parameters:

T - The type of the event being observed

X - The bean type containing the observer method

All Known Subinterfaces:

ProcessSyntheticObserverMethod<T,X>
```
public interface ProcessObserverMethod<T,X>
```
The container fires an event of this type for each observer method of each enabled bean, before registering the ObserverMethod object.

For a custom implementation of ObserverMethod, the container must raise an event of type ProcessSyntheticObserverMethod.

Any observer of this event is permitted to wrap and/or replace the ObserverMethod by calling either setObserverMethod(ObserverMethod) or configureObserverMethod(). If both methods are called within an observer notification an IllegalStateException is thrown. The container must use the final value of this property, after all observers have been called, he container must use the final value of this property, after all observers have been called, whenever it performs observer resolution.

If any observer method of a ProcessObserverMethod event throws an exception, the exception is treated as a definition error by the container.

CDI Lite implementations are not required to provide support for Portable Extensions.

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`void`	`addDefinitionError(Throwable t)`	Registers a definition error with the container, causing the container to abort deployment after bean discovery is complete.
`ObserverMethodConfigurator<T>`	`configureObserverMethod()`	Returns a `ObserverMethodConfigurator` initialized with the `ObserverMethod` processed by this event, to configure a new ObserverMethod that will replace the original one at the end of the observer invocation.
`AnnotatedMethod<X>`	`getAnnotatedMethod()`	The `AnnotatedMethod` representing the observer method.
`ObserverMethod<T>`	`getObserverMethod()`	The `ObserverMethod` object that will be used by the container to invoke the observer when a matching event is fired.
`void`	`setObserverMethod(ObserverMethod<T> observerMethod)`	Replaces the `ObserverMethod`.
`void`	`veto()`	Forces the container to ignore the observer method.

- Method Detail
  - getAnnotatedMethod
```
AnnotatedMethod<X> getAnnotatedMethod()
```
    The AnnotatedMethod representing the observer method.
    If invoked upon a ProcessSyntheticObserverMethod event, non-portable behavior results and the returned value should be ignored.
    
    Returns:
    
    the AnnotatedMethod representing the observer method
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalStateException - if called outside of the observer method invocation
  - getObserverMethod
```
ObserverMethod<T> getObserverMethod()
```
    The ObserverMethod object that will be used by the container to invoke the observer when a matching event is fired.
    
    Returns:
    
    the ObserverMethod object that will be used by the container to call the observer method
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalStateException - if called outside of the observer method invocation
  - addDefinitionError
```
void addDefinitionError(Throwable t)
```
    Registers a definition error with the container, causing the container to abort deployment after bean discovery is complete.
    
    Parameters:
    
    t - A Throwable representing the definition error
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalStateException - if called outside of the observer method invocation
  - setObserverMethod
```
void setObserverMethod(ObserverMethod<T> observerMethod)
```
    Replaces the ObserverMethod.
    
    Parameters:
    
    observerMethod - the new ObserverMethod object to use
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalStateException - if called outside of the observer method invocation
    
    Since:
    
    2.0
  - configureObserverMethod
```
ObserverMethodConfigurator<T> configureObserverMethod()
```
    Returns a ObserverMethodConfigurator initialized with the ObserverMethod processed by this event, to configure a new ObserverMethod that will replace the original one at the end of the observer invocation. Each call returns the same ObserverMethodConfigurator
    
    Returns:
    
    a non reusable ObserverMethodConfigurator to configure the replacing ObserverMethod
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalStateException - if called outside of the observer method invocation
    
    Since:
    
    2.0
  - veto
```
void veto()
```
    Forces the container to ignore the observer method.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalStateException - if called outside of the observer method invocation
    
    Since:
    
    2.0
