Hi everyone, CDI extensions can observe the AfterBeanDiscovery event to register observer methods (addObserverMethod). However, when an event is first fired, the observers for that event are resolved and then cached (in TypeSafeResolver). All future calls to addObserverMethod for an already fired event with corresponding qualifiers will have no effect because the observer result is read from cache and not recomputed.

Possible solutions: - Provide some public API to clear/recompute that part the observer cache. Maybe that exists? I couldn't find it which is why I am using the private API and Reflection :(. Also let AfterBeanDiscovery.addObserverMethod fail in that case with the advice to reset the cache. - Recompute the corresponding part of the cache when addObserverMethod is called (seems preferable). OpenWebBeans doesn't have this issue as their NotificationManager will simply add the new ObserverMethod to a ConcurrentHashMap that is also accessed when an event is fired. What do you think? Can this already be done or is there another solution?
