- Method Detail
  - getBeanClass
```
java.lang.Class<?> getBeanClass()
```
    Obtains the class of the type that declares the observer method.
    
    Returns:
    
    the defining class
  - getObservedType
```
java.lang.reflect.Type getObservedType()
```
    Obtains the observed event type.
    
    Returns:
    
    the observed event type
  - getObservedQualifiers
```
java.util.Set<java.lang.annotation.Annotation> getObservedQualifiers()
```
    Obtains the set of observed event qualifiers.
    
    Returns:
    
    the observed event qualifiers
  - getReception
```
Reception getReception()
```
    Obtains the specified Reception for the observer method. This indicates if the observer is conditional or not.
    
    Returns:
    
    the Reception
  - getTransactionPhase
```
TransactionPhase getTransactionPhase()
```
    Obtains the specified TransactionPhase for the observer method.
    
    Returns:
    
    the TransactionPhase
  - notify
```
void notify(T event)
```
    Calls the observer method, passing the given event object.
    
    The implementation of this method for a custom observer method is responsible for deciding whether to call the method if the getReception() returns Reception.IF_EXISTS.
    
    Parameters:
    
    event - the event object
