ProcessBean (Jakarta Context Dependency Injection API)

Type Parameters:

X - The class of the bean

All Known Subinterfaces:

ProcessManagedBean<X>, ProcessProducerField<T,X>, ProcessProducerMethod<T,X>, ProcessSessionBean<X>, ProcessSyntheticBean<X>
```
public interface ProcessBean<X>
```
The container fires an event of this type for each enabled bean, interceptor or decorator deployed in a bean archive, before registering the Bean object.

The event object type depends upon what kind of bean was discovered:
- For a managed bean with bean class X, the container must raise an event of type ProcessManagedBean.
- For a session bean with bean class X, the container must raise an event of type ProcessSessionBean.
- For a producer method with method return type X of a bean with bean class T, the container must raise an event of type ProcessProducerMethod.
- For a producer field with field type X of a bean with bean class T, the container must raise an event of type ProcessProducerField.
- For a custom implementation of Bean, the container must raise an event of type ProcessSyntheticBean.
Resources are considered to be producer fields.

If any observer method of a ProcessBean 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(java.lang.Throwable t)`	Registers a definition error with the container, causing the container to abort deployment after bean discovery is complete.
`Annotated`	`getAnnotated()`	Returns the `AnnotatedType` representing the bean class, the `AnnotatedMethod` representing the producer method, or the `AnnotatedField` representing the producer field.
`Bean<X>`	`getBean()`	Returns the `Bean` object that is about to be registered.

- Method Detail
  - getAnnotated
```
Annotated getAnnotated()
```
    Returns the AnnotatedType representing the bean class, the AnnotatedMethod representing the producer method, or the AnnotatedField representing the producer field.
    If invoked upon a ProcessSyntheticBean event, non-portable behavior results and the returned value should be ignored.
    
    Returns:
    
    the Annotated for the bean being registered
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalStateException - if called outside of the observer method invocation
  - getBean
```
Bean<X> getBean()
```
    Returns the Bean object that is about to be registered. The Bean may implement Interceptor or Decorator.
    
    Returns:
    
    the Bean object about to be registered
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalStateException - if called outside of the observer method invocation
  - addDefinitionError
```
void addDefinitionError(java.lang.Throwable t)
```
    Registers a definition error with the container, causing the container to abort deployment after bean discovery is complete.
    
    Parameters:
    
    t - The definition error to register as a Throwable
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalStateException - if called outside of the observer method invocation
