Type Parameters:

T - The class of the bean
```
public interface ProcessBeanAttributes<T>
```
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.

Any observer of this event is permitted to wrap and/or replace the BeanAttributes by calling either setBeanAttributes(BeanAttributes) or configureBeanAttributes(). If both methods are called within an observer notification an IllegalStateException is thrown. The container must use the final value of this property, after all observers have been called, to manage instances of the bean.

If any observer method of a ProcessBeanAttributes 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(Throwable t)`	Registers a definition error with the container, causing the container to abort deployment after bean discovery is complete.
`BeanAttributesConfigurator<T>`	`configureBeanAttributes()`	returns a `BeanAttributesConfigurator` initialized with the `BeanAttributes` processed by this event to configure a new BeanAttributes that will replace the original one at the end of the observer invocation.
`Annotated`	`getAnnotated()`
`BeanAttributes<T>`	`getBeanAttributes()`
`void`	`ignoreFinalMethods()`	Instructs the container to ignore all non-static, final methods with public, protected or default visibility declared on any bean type of the specific bean during validation of injection points that require proxyable bean type.
`void`	`setBeanAttributes(BeanAttributes<T> beanAttributes)`	Replaces the `BeanAttributes`.
`void`	`veto()`	Forces the container to ignore the bean.

- Method Detail
  - getAnnotated
```
Annotated getAnnotated()
```
    Returns:
    
    the AnnotatedType representing the managed bean class or session bean class, the AnnotatedMethod representing the producer field, or the AnnotatedField representing the producer field
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalStateException - if called outside of the observer method invocation
  - getBeanAttributes
```
BeanAttributes<T> getBeanAttributes()
```
    Returns:
    
    the BeanAttributes object that will be used by the container to manage instances of the bean
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalStateException - if called outside of the observer method invocation
  - setBeanAttributes
```
void setBeanAttributes(BeanAttributes<T> beanAttributes)
```
    Replaces the BeanAttributes.
    
    Parameters:
    
    beanAttributes - the new BeanAttributes to use
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalStateException - if called outside of the observer method invocation
  - configureBeanAttributes
```
BeanAttributesConfigurator<T> configureBeanAttributes()
```
    returns a BeanAttributesConfigurator initialized with the BeanAttributes processed by this event to configure a new BeanAttributes that will replace the original one at the end of the observer invocation. Each call returns the same BeanAttributesConfigurator.
    
    Returns:
    
    a non reusable BeanAttributesConfigurator to configure the replacing BeanAttributes
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalStateException - if called outside of the observer method invocation

  - addDefinitionError
```
void addDefinitionError(Throwable t)
```
    Registers a definition error with the container, causing the container to abort deployment after bean discovery is complete.
    
    Parameters:
    
    t - the error to add
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalStateException - if called outside of the observer method invocation
  - veto
```
void veto()
```
    Forces the container to ignore the bean.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalStateException - if called outside of the observer method invocation
  - ignoreFinalMethods
```
void ignoreFinalMethods()
```
    Instructs the container to ignore all non-static, final methods with public, protected or default visibility declared on any bean type of the specific bean during validation of injection points that require proxyable bean type.
    
    These method should never be invoked upon bean instances. Otherwise, unpredictable behavior results.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalStateException - if called outside of the observer method invocation
