 * The container fires an event of this type for each {@linkplain javax.enterprise.inject.Produces producer method or field} of
 * each enabled bean, including resources.
 * 
 * 
 * Any observer of this event is permitted to wrap and/or replace the {@code Producer}. The container must use the final value
 * of this property, after all observers have been called, whenever it calls the producer or disposer.
 * 
 * 
 * For example, this observer decorates the {@code Producer} for the all producer methods and field of type
 * {@code EntityManager}.

 * 
 *  * void decorateEntityManager(@Observes ProcessProducer<?, EntityManager> pp) {
 *     pit.setProducer(decorate(pp.getProducer()));
 * }
 * 
 * 
 * If any observer method of a {@code ProcessProducer} event throws an exception, the exception is treated as a definition error
 * by the container.
