[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-595) Clarify if it is possible to 'manually' use interceptor

Clarify if it is possible to 'manually' use interceptor ------------------------------------------------------- Key: CDI-595 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-595 Project: CDI Specification Issues Issue Type: Bug Components: Interceptors Affects Versions: 2.0-EDR1 Reporter: Matej Novotny This issue was inspired by Deltapike issue ([DELTASPIKE-1060|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DELTASPIKE-1060] and [DELTASPIKE-1108|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DELTASPIKE-1108]). In the DS issue, the interceptor instance is created with {{new CreationalContext}} and injects an {{@Intercepted Bean}}. Later on, there is an attempt to manually call {{javax.enterprise.inject.spi.Interceptor.intercept(InterceptionType, T, InvocationContext)}}. This (obviously) fails, as the interceptor does not have a context (meaning a link to the bean it is supposed to intercept). Quoting the interceptors spec: "The lifecycle of an interceptor instance is the same as that of the target class instance with which it is associated." Therefore we might want to clarify whether creating interceptors in this way is valid at all.
