Creating and Using Contexts and Dependency Injection (CDI) Events

The CDI event model allows beans to send events to one another without a compile-time dependency, and beans may create their own event payloads - a class that contains information pertinent to the event. Using CDI events, one bean can define the event, another can fire the event and a third can handle the event. And unlike with other event models, you can add listeners (observers) without registering them as listeners.
