/**
* ObserverMethod is the SPI to handle an observer method, which is
* an event consumer for an event of the given type T. An instance of
* ObserverMethod exists for every observer method of every enabled bean.
*
* A class may have n observer methods.
* Each observer method must have a void return value and exactly one parameter
* which defines which event it {@code javax.enterprise.event.Observes}.
* The observed event may be further specified by using an optional Qualifier.
*
* Sample:
*
* public class UserHandler
* {
* public void afterUserLogin(@Observes UserLoginEvent userHasLoggedIn)
* {
* // prepare some data for the user, ...
* int userId = userHadLoggedIn.getUserId();
* ...
* }
*
* public void afterAdminLogin(@Observes @Admin UserLoginEvent userHasLoggedIn)
* {
* // prepare stuff for the admin user
* ...
* }
*
* public void afterUserLogout(@Observes UserLogoutEvent userHasLoggedOut)
* {
* // cleanup afterwards
* ...
* }
* }
*
*
* @param the event which should be observed
* @see javax.enterprise.event.Observes
