you're probably missing the section of the ejb-jar. Something like | <interceptors> | <interceptor> | <interceptor-class>your_interceptor_class_name</interceptor-class> | <post-construct> | <lifecycle-callback-method>methodName</lifecycle-callback-method> | </post-construct> | <!-- ditto for other callback methods --> | </interceptor> | </interceptors> | View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4140781#...
