[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-414?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.sy... ] Mark Struberg edited comment on CDI-414 at 8/17/14 1:17 PM: ------------------------------------------------------------ folks, this sounds absolutely like a bug in current Weld. The spec clearly defines that invocation of 'business methods' must get intercepted. We had this discussion a long time ago... See 7.2 {quote} When the application invokes: • a method of a bean via a contextual reference to the bean, ... the invocation is treated as a business method invocation. {quote} And this also used to work in older Weld versions. Self injection is a classic pattern which is heavily used in the industry. E.g. if you have a CDI bean which usually returns values from a cache and only on a cache miss it invokes a @Transactional method to fill the cache. If you now tell me that Weld just ignores this @Transactional interceptor then this is *really* bad news. Again, this used to work in older Weld versions... There is absolutely nothing which we need to change in the spec as this IS already specified. *Edit:* To make this clear what I' refering to: * calling a method on a self-injected bean (like in the example from Arjan) _must_ trigger the interceptor. If this doesn't work in Weld, then this is clearly a bug * calling just another method from the same class (without invoking it via the self-injected Contextual Reference must _not_ trigger the interceptor. This was intended that way. was (Author: struberg): folks, this sounds absolutely like a bug in current Weld. The spec clearly defines that invocation of 'business methods' must get intercepted.
