Hello guys,

I know in Java8 they are working in allow multiple same annotacions can decorate methods or fields (currently is a compiler error)... for instance:

public void myMethod(@Tag("one") @Tag("another") String param);

In cdi events, using AnnotationLiteral you could declare a string-based qualifier to use in events (there are examples in internet, I simply put its use):

     @Qualfier ... @interface Tag { String value }

     class TagQualifier extends AnnotationLiteral<Tag> implements Tag{ ... }

     // Trigger

     beanManager.fireEvent(new CdiEvent(), new TagQualifier("one"));

     // And this will notify in other cdi-enabled class to...   

     void tagListener(@Observes @Tag("one") CdiEvent event) throws Exception { ... }

My question is: providing this is not possible (not compiles):

     void tagListener(@Observes @Tag("one") @Tag("another") CdiEvent event) throws Exception { ... }

...and the only way to go is to make a multiple annotation like @Tags( { @Tag("one"), @Tag("another") } )

This would match correctly with the observer? Is this supported or planned to be?

Thank you guys!
