Looking at the code you attached to the JIRA https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/EJBTHREE-1937 this appears to be a bug in your application code. Your interceptors do not call the invocationContext.proceed in the post construct operations. As per section 12.5 of EJB3 spec: "EJB3 Spec, Section 12.5" wrote : Interceptor methods must always call InvocationContext.proceed() or no subsequent interceptor methods or bean business method or lifecycle callback methods will be invoked. | View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4259798#...
