Yes,

the problem with this is that currently we cannot add a new method to the interface - otherwise we break existing implementations of the interface. We can either wait for Java 8 or find some other way of specifying the priority.

Hi Jozef,

Thanks for the clarification.

Would it make sense to add Interceptor#getPriority() in a future spec revision and handle such a custom interceptor bean as if there was an equivalent annotated interceptor type? As it seems its currently not possible to achieve the semantics of an annotated interceptor type using a portable extension.

Hi Gunnar,

this is not possible. You can only enable the interceptor by adding it to AfterTypeDiscovery#getInterceptors() relatively to other interceptors.

Hi,

Using a CDI portable extension, I'm registering a custom bean which represents an interceptor (by implementing the javax.enterprise.inject.spi.Interceptor interface).

My question now is how to specify the priority of that interceptor. Intuitively I had expected a method such as Interceptor#getPriority(), but there isn't such method.

In section 9 the spec says extensions could "override the interceptor order defined by the @Priority annotation" and refers to section 11.5.2 which introduces AfterTypeDiscovery#getInterceptors(). So I could use this to add my interceptor, but I don't see how I could specify the priority while doing so.

How can this be achieved?

Many thanks,
