[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-186) Interceptor bindings need clarification

Interceptor bindings need clarification --------------------------------------- Key: CDI-186 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-186 Project: CDI Specification Issues Issue Type: Clarification Components: Interceptors Affects Versions: 1.1.EDR Reporter: Jozef Hartinger Fix For: 1.1 (Proposed) As part of CDI-2, changes were made to the Interceptors chapter of the CDI specification. These changes need further clarification: {quote} Interceptor bindings defined on methods may override the interceptor bindings defined on classes. {quote} One way to interpret this is that the set of interceptor bindings defined on a method overrides the set of interceptor bindings defined on a class, which is clearly not the intended behavior. {quote} If the set of interceptor bindings of a bean or interceptor, including bindings inherited from stereotypes and other interceptor bindings, has two instances of a certain interceptor binding type and the instances have different values of some annotation member, the bean or interceptor must override the *inherited set* by definining an annotation instance of its own, otherwise, the container automatically detects the problem and treats it as a definition error. {quote} Here again I would avoid referencing "the inherited set", since it's not clear what that means, and rather use wording similar to the section 2.4.4 - default scope of a stereotype.
