Hello,

Suppose I have an abstract generified base class to be deployed as an EJB interceptor:

{code}
public abstract class AbstractServiceInitializer<T> {
@PostConstruct
    public void init(InvocationContext ctx) {
          Object o = ctx.getTarget();
        try {
            T service = (T) o;
            init(service);
        } catch (ClassCastException e) {
            log.warn("Class {} is not supported... doing nothing", o.getClass().getName());
            return;
        }
    }
     public abstract void init(T service);
}
{code}
 

And a subclass :

{code}
public class MyEjbImplInitializer extends AbstractServiceInitializer<MyEjbImpl>{
     @Override
    public void init(MyEjbImpl service) {
        // specific init stuff 
    }
}
{code}
 

The problem I face is that during the PostConstruct phase of the MyEjbImpl lifecycle, the init(InvocationContext ctx) method from the  superclass is not invoked (of course the @Interceptors directive is correctly declared). The only way to make it work is to override that method in the subclass with a simple :

{code}
    @PostConstruct
    @Override
    public void init(InvocationContext ctx) {
        super.init(ctx);
    }
{code}
 

is it normal or is it related to https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBMDR-73 ?

Regards
