 * For a custom implementation of {@link ObserverMethod}, the container must raise an event of type {@link ProcessSyntheticObserverMethod}.
 * 
 * 
 * Any observer of this event is permitted to wrap and/or replace the {@link javax.enterprise.inject.spi.ObserverMethod} by calling either {@link #setObserverMethod(ObserverMethod)} or {@link #configureObserverMethod()}.
 * If both methods are called within an observer notification an {@link IllegalStateException} is thrown.
 * The container must use the final value of this property, after all observers have been called, he container must use the final
 * value of this property, after all observers have been called, whenever it performs observer resolution.
 * 
 * 
 * If any observer method of a {@code ProcessObserverMethod} event throws an exception, the exception is treated as a definition
 * error by the container.
