CDI Interceptor from provided library

[grubi]

Hi everybody,

I created a library which contains all common resources that I need to develop webapplications in JSF with CDI, EJB, etc. In this library I have a beans.xml which registers some interceptors. Those interceptors work without any problem for classes that are located inside the library. But I have to register them again in the applications beans.xml to use them on classes located in the applications WAR.

Like the last time I didn't found an answer to this behavior. Is it correct, that a beans.xml and its content is only responsible for the archive it is located in? So all setting I apply in the library's xml I need to apply also in the applications xml to get them working? Is there no better way to do this? It's a lot of work over the time and not really maintainable (a lot of duplicates)...

Thanks.

Hi,

yes, this is a correct behavior for CDI 1.0 -> see chapter 9.4. "Interceptor enablement and ordering" (check the final version of the spec or the final draft). Also there is a feature request Global enablement of interceptors, decorators and alternatives / CDI-18 for CDI 1.1.

Hi Martin,

thanks for your reply.

I hope they find a good solution to meet all requirements. Actually it is not really comfortable...
