[jboss-user] [EJB 3.0] - JBoss AS 4.2.3: Lifecycle event callbacks not invoked?

Maybe a bug. I'm obersving some strange behaviour regarding the EJB 3 lifecycle event callbacks in JBoss AS 4.2.3. I got a simple stateful session bean which declares some lifecycle callback methods as shown below (simplified): | @Stateful | public class StatefulSessionLifecycleLoggerImpl implements MyBusinessInterface { | [...] | | /** | * {@inheritDoc} | */ | public void businessMethod() { | } | | @PostConstruct | private void logPostConstruct() { | log.info("[PostConstruct] [" + this.toString() + "]"); | } | | } | When I lookup the bean everything works as expected, the logPostConstruct method gets called, everthing is fine. Now, when I declare a class-level interceptor for this bean | [...] | @Interceptors({MethodInvocationLogger.class}) | public class StatefulSessionLifecycleLoggerImpl [...] | | which also declares a callback method for the "PostConstruct" lifecycle event (code shown below, simplified) | public class MethodInvocationLogger implements Serializable { | [...] | | @PostConstruct | public void init(InvocationContext ctx) { | [...] | } | | @AroundInvoke | public Object logMethodInvocation(InvocationContext ctx) throws Exception { | [...] | } | | } | then things start getting weird. The "PostConstruct" callback on the MethodInvocationLogger interceptor is being called, but the "PostConstruct" callback on the actual bean is _not_!!! As far as I understand the EJB specification both methods must have been called. Is this a bug or am I missing something?
