<p>Contexts and Dependency Injection (CDI), specified by <a href="http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=299">JSR-299</a>, is an integral part of Java EE 6 and provides an architecture that allows Java EE components such as servlets, enterprise beans, and JavaBeans to exist within the lifecycle of an application with well-defined scopes. In addition, CDI services allow Java EE components such as EJB session beans and JavaServer Faces (JSF) managed beans to be injected and to interact in a loosely coupled way by firing and observing events.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>This tutorial is based on the blog post by Andy Gibson, entitled <a href="http://www.andygibson.net/blog/index.php/2010/01/11/getting-started-with-jsf-2-0-and-cdi-part-3/">Getting Started with CDI part 3 – Events</a>. It demonstrates how to take advantage of the Java EE concept of <em>events</em>, in which you produce and subscribe to (i.e., <em>observe</em>) events occuring in your application in a way that enables you to maintain decoupled code between producers and observers. You use the <code>javax.enterprise.event.Event</code> class to create events, and CDI&#8217;s <code>@Observes</code> annotation to subscribe to events.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>NetBeans IDE provides built-in support for Contexts and Dependency Injection, including the option of generating the <code>beans.xml</code> CDI configuration file upon project creation, editor and navigation support for annotations, as well as various wizards for creating commonly used CDI artifacts.</p>

<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>In the previous tutorial, <a href="../cdi-validate/" class="xref page">Applying @Alternative Beans and Lifecycle Annotations</a>, we had an application that obtained a list of items, validated them and took a specific action when an invalid item was found. Let&#8217;s say in the future we want to expand our system to handle all sorts of things happening when we find an invalid item. This could range from an email being sent, changes made to other data such as an order being canceled, or storing a list of rejections in a file or database table. To completely decouple the implementation we can use <em>events</em> in Java EE. Events are raised by the event <em>producer</em> and subscribed to by event <em>observers</em>. Like most of CDI, event production and subscription is type-safe and allows qualifiers to determine which events observers will be observing.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Using the application we&#8217;ve been building from the previous tutorials in the series, we don&#8217;t require many changes to implement this. We can just provide another implementation of <code>ItemErrorHandler</code> (created in <a href="../cdi-validate/" class="xref page">the previous tutorial</a>), which raises an event each time it handles an item. We&#8217;ll name this class <code>EventItemHandler</code>, inject it into the <code>ItemProcessor</code>, and use a <code>Notify</code> qualifier to select it for injection.</p>

<p>Currently though, we don&#8217;t have anything observing the event. We can fix this by creating an <em>observer</em> method using the <code>@Observes</code> annotation. This is the only thing needed to observe an event.

<p>You see that the events are fired on the invalid objects as they were previously, but now the item information is being saved when each event is fired. You can also note that the lifecycle events are being observed, since a <code>FileErrorReporter</code> bean is created and closed for each fired event. (See <a href="../cdi-validate/" class="xref page">Applying @Alternative Beans and Lifecycle Annotations</a> for a discussion of lifecycle annotations, e.g., <code>@PostConstruct</code> and <code>@PreDestroy</code>.)</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>As shown in the above steps, the <code>@Observes</code> annotation provides an easy way to observe an event.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Events and observers can also be annotated with qualifiers to enable observers to only observe specific events for an item. See <a href="http://www.andygibson.net/blog/index.php/2010/01/11/getting-started-with-jsf-2-0-and-cdi-part-3/">Getting Started with CDI part 3 – Events</a> for a demonstration.</p>

<h2 id="scopes"><a class="anchor" href="#scopes"></a>Handling Scopes</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>In the present state of the application, a <code>FileErrorReporter</code> bean is created each time the event is raised. In this case, we don&#8217;t want to create a new bean each time since we don&#8217;t want to open and close the file for each item. We still want to open the file at the start of the process, and then close it once the process it completed. Therefore, we need to consider the <em>scope</em> of the <code>FileErrorReporter</code> bean.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Currently, the <code>FileErrorReporter</code> bean doesn&#8217;t have a scope defined. When no scope is defined, CDI uses the default pseudo-dependent scope. What this means in practice is that the bean is created and destroyed over a very short space of time, typically over a method call. In our present scenario, the bean is created and destroyed for the duration of the event being fired. To fix this, we can lengthen the bean&#8217;s scope by manually adding a scope annotation. We&#8217;ll make this bean <code>@RequestScoped</code> so when the bean is created with the first event being fired, it will continue to exist for the duration of the request. This also means that for any injection points that this bean is qualified to be injected to, the same bean instance will be injected.</p>

<p>Events are a great way to decouple parts of the system in a modular fashion, as event observers and producers know nothing about each other, nor do they require any configuration for them to do so. You can add pieces of code that subscribe to events with the event producer unaware of the observer. (Without using events, you would typically need to have the event producer call the observer manually.) For example, if someone updates an order status, you could add events to email the sales representative, or notify an account manager if a tech support issue is open for more than a week. These kinds of rules can be implemented without events, but events make it easier to decouple the business logic. Additionally, there is no compile or build time dependency. You can just add modules to your application and they will automatically start observing and producing events.</p>
