how to create an interceptor annotation with a method not declared in my remote interface in JBoss AS 7.1

[monte-cristo]

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to create an interceptor on a stateless EJB session bean. There is a lot of tutorials about this, and it seams easy I know, but the problem is that when I put the annotation before a non remote method, I mean a method which is not invoked by the client but by an other method of the service, the annotation is escaped.

something like that:

/* the EJB bean code*/

public class Bean implements BeanInterface {

     public void method1() {

                                             ......

                                             method2(); //a call of a second method

                                             ......

                                        }

     @Interceptors(ClassInterceptor.class)

     public void method2(){

                                        ......

                                        ......

                                        }

}

/*the interface code*/

public interface BeanInterface{

     public void method1();

}

/*and somewhere in the client code*/

bean.method1();

The interceptor ClassInterceptor is escaped. Even whene I add method2() in the interface. It must be called by the client with a lookup if I want it works.

Is there any connection between the annoations and the EJB service? And how can create an interceptor annotation with a method not declared in my remote interface?

Thank you all. See you.

The Interceptors are only in the chain if the container is involved in the invocation.

If you call the method inside the class it will be handled as a normal POJO without any container interceptor.

I'm not sure but it might possible that you can inject with @EJB an instance variable and call the method via this reference.

But I'm not sure whether this is 100% portable

Ok, I'll look for it, thanks. But tell me, is there any manipulation or configuratio that I can do on the ejb-jar.xml?
