Introduction
Interceptor was in EE 5 introduced in EJB 3.0, see EJB3 Interceptors javax.ejb.AroundInvoke. In EE 6 that was taken out and made generic into Interceptors (JSR318), package javax.interceptor.*.
You can call Interceptor in EE 6 in two way:
- By annotating method or class with @javax.interceptor.Interceptors(MyInterceptor.class)
- Create custom Annotation with Annotation @javax.interceptor.InterceptorBinding and annotate with that you method or class.
Example
Your custom Interceptor.
Interception in a POJO.
Interception in a Stateless Session Bean.
beans.xml located for war in WEB-INF/.
To use the Interceptor you must let weld create the intercepted class, otherwise will weld never knew about the interceptor and hence will the interceptor never work.
Example usage from a Servlet.
