The following snippet in "10.2.2 Event qualifier types with members" is wrong:

public void login() {
final User user = ...;
loggedInEvent.fire( new LoggedInEvent(user),
new RoleQualifier() { public String value() { return user.getRole(); } );
}

javax.enterprise.event.Event.fire() method does not have qualifiers param. The example should either use Event.select(Annotation...) along with Event.fire() or BeanManager.fireEvent(Object, Annotation...).
