[weld-dev] Is an interceptor with @Target(METHOD, CONSTRUCTOR, TYPE) a problem?

[Marcin Zajączkowski]

Hi,


I'm trying to write mocked unit tests for my interceptor using
mechanisms given by AbstractWeldTest and jboss-test-harness package.

My test class extends AbstractWeldTest, had Artifact and WebBeans
(pointing to beans.xml with my interceptor defined) annotations.

My interceptor seems normal for me:
@Target({ElementType.METHOD, ElementType.CONSTRUCTOR, ElementType.TYPE})
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@InterceptorBinding
public @interface Perf4jProfiled {
}

When I run a very simple test, I've got:
23:06:53.505 [main] DEBUG org.jboss.weld.Reflection - WELD-000602
interface net.sf.perf4cdi.api.Perf4jProfiled is not declared
@Target(TYPE, METHOD) or @Target(TYPE)
org.jboss.weld.exceptions.DeploymentException: WELD-000069 An
interceptor must have at least one binding, but

When I remove CONSTRUCTOR it works better (there is another problem, but
not related I have to debug it).

I would like to ask if this is a limitation of CDI that an interceptor
cannot be put on constructor?
