An issue I have with creating a custom BeanFactoryMetaData instance that models an ejb container is that I want to have the ejb interceptors added to the ejb bean context via install methods. The custom BeanFactoryMetaData (org.jboss.test.kernel.deployment.support.container.BeanContextFactory) creates 4+ BeanMetaDatas: 1. GenericBeanFactory(BeanContext) - is the bean factory for creating the bean component consisting of: 2 - bean context 3 - + bean instance 4 - + 0 or more bean interceptors The BeanMetaData for the interceptors wants to install the interceptor bean into the BeanContext by calling the addInterceptor method. However, the BeanMetaData for the BeanContext if the GenericBeanFactory. There is no notion of the GenericBeanFactory acting as a proxy for the BeanContext instances in terms of install/uninstall callbacks. Its not obvious how this can be supported in the current impl as the GenericBeanFactory.createBean instances are themselves not mc beans with a name that could be used with the interceptor install metadata. Ideas on how to do this, add support for it? See the org.jboss.test.kernel.deployment.test.BeanContainerUsageTestCaseMD.testComponentBeanFactory for the current wiring.
