Hi Romain and Mark I was exploring the thoughts of using CDI Events to perform something like this.
1. In a request start a syncrhonous task 2. The task would at some points during the process (not always, depends on some business decisions) send events that the starter of the task could observe and possible change the outcome of the task. 3. When the task is finished the request that started it returns an answer to the client Another way would be to create normal listeners (normal e.g. as used in Swing, addActionListener...) Is the CDI Event way something to consider (seems more elegant)? I would not want observers of different requests (threads) see each others events.
