Re: [weld-dev] Question for EG, was: Retrieving the Bean object for an interceptor

No, not intercepted. Interception only occurs on invoking method on bean instance (or proxy). --Gurkan ________________________________ From: Marius Bogoevici <marius.bogoevici(a)gmail.com&gt; To: Gavin King <gavin.king(a)gmail.com&gt; Cc: Weld-Dev List <weld-dev(a)lists.jboss.org&gt; Sent: Thu, April 29, 2010 7:30:55 PM Subject: [weld-dev] Question for EG, was: Retrieving the Bean object for an interceptor On 10-04-22 1:44 AM, Gavin King wrote: Gavin, This is not the same issue, but still related to what is decorated/intercepted in CDI. Is it possible to clarify the following from the EG's point of view: Consider the following bean: class SomeBean { @Binding void method1() {} @Binding void method2() { method1(); } } The question is whether upon invoking method2(), the subsequent invocation to method1() must be intercepted as well. While this hasn't been possible while using proxies, the question becomes actual in the context of subclassing. It has also been raised by users recently. The specification says that only business method invocations on contextual references must be intercepted, so the main question here is whether we should treat *this* as a contextual reference. While I'm not sold entirely either way, I can see a lot more reasons why this.method1() would not be intercepted upon invoking method2(), the idea being that interceptors/decorators are container-level entities which are applied on the "contextual reference" and not on the POJO bean itself, which would also be consistent with the way things are done in EJB. Also, if we allow interception in this case, then the invocation to method1() would also need to be decorated, which IMO can lead to unexpected side-effects. Pete and I have discussed this, and since the current subclassing approach opens the door to an interpretation where method invocations on "this" are also decorated and intercepted, we decided that the best course of action is to address the EG for clarifications. Implementation-wise, it can be done either way.
