I recall running into this issue once. We may be able to enhance seam to handle method interceptors like this. (open a JIRA issue) In the meantime, you can always use a class-level annotation to say "hey, apply my interceptor to this class" and then only perform your work where the specific method-level annotation is present. (in the other cases, the interceptor should just proceed()) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3997959#...
