Hi.

It seems that java release 8u60 breaks the following scenario. Create an CDI observer method, write a lambda expression inside it, and use the observed parameter inside the lambda.

Here is a short example:

public void handle(@Observes SomeEvent event) {

        someMethod(optional.ifPresent(param -> {

                switch (event.getType()) {

                        case A:

                                param.A();

                                break;

                }

        });

}

The resulting error may differ, but basically I got the following two types of error during deployment:

Caused by: org.jboss.weld.exceptions.DefinitionException: WELD-000088: Observer method must be static or local business method:  [EnhancedAnnotatedMethodImpl] private Handler.lambda$handle$150(@Observes SomeEvent, Param) on [EnhancedAnnotatedTypeImpl] public @Singleton @ConcurrencyManagement class Handler

The type of error depends on the fact whether the bean of type @Default Param is available or not.

I guess that this regression might be related to one of those fixes, but there are several other fixes related to lambdas:

http://bugs.java.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=8058227

I use gradle for compilation, and '-parameters' parameter is not passed to javac. I run on wildfly 9.0.1.

This may be a bug both in weld or in javac, I cannot decide. Any suggestions where to report this bug are welcome.
