What's an Interceptor

[drakonis]

I mean, what's the theoretical definition of an Interceptor? How does that relate to advices? Is an Interceptor the JBoss name for Advice? Are the advices same as interceptors, only difference that they live inside an Aspect?

An interceptor in JBoss AOP is an Aspect with exactly one advice named "invoke". Some people like i nterceptors better because it is an implemented interface while an aspect is just a class with methods in it that follow a specific method signature.
