Hi;

@PostActivate and @PrePassivate annotations are defined on the EJB specification. Those annotations are not defined in the Interceptor specification. But in CDI specification, chapter 11.1.2 specifices the using of PRE_PASSIVATE and POST_ACTIVATE interception types.

I think that this is wrong because those annotations must be defined on ManagedBean with passivating capable not in interceptor class.

For example;

In TCK , it tests

Interceptor interceptor = get Some Interceptors....
interceptor.intercept(InterceptionType.PRE_PASSIVATE or POST_ACTIVATE) is not meaningful, because interceptors may not define PRE_PASSIVATE or POST_ACTIVATE methods.

I think that PRE_PASSIVATE and POST_ACTIVATE must be removed from InterceptionType enum.
