At a first glance I would consider this a bug in the example. I can not imagine Gavin introduced some kind of "special interceptors for void returning methods". This would rather be a use case for decorators.

I will forward your question to the jboss list, if you don't mind. Besides... thanks for for the review.

Interceptor methods with @AroundInvoke in EJB3 requires a return type
of Object, which is enforced by
WebBeansUtil.java::checkAroundInvokeAnnotationCriterias(). In EJB3,
Interceptors return InvocationContext.proceed() to their caller.

However it seems that @AroundInvoke in JCDI is documented somewhat
differently -- in the JCDI spec (1.3.6) the example has a void return
type and just calls InvocationContext.proceed().

Should the JCDI spec example look just like EJB3, or is this an
OWB-specific restriction?
