Implementation of SessionBean's InjectionTarget is incorrect, it's produce() method should return a constructor injected object, not the proxy ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: WELD-329 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/WELD-329 Project: Weld Issue Type: Bug Components: Class Beans (Managed and Session) Affects Versions: 1.0.0.GA Reporter: Gavin King Priority: Critical Fix For: 1.0.1.CR1 ManagedBean.create() looks like this: public T create(CreationalContext<T> creationalContext) { T instance = getInjectionTarget().produce(creationalContext); getInjectionTarget().inject(instance, creationalContext); if (isInterceptionCandidate() && (hasCdiBoundInterceptors() || hasDirectlyDefinedInterceptors())) { InterceptionUtils.executePostConstruct(instance); } else { getInjectionTarget().postConstruct(instance); } return instance; } The code that is aware of interceptors needs to be sucked into InjectionTarget.postConstruct(), since a portable extension can't easily reproduce that logic. create() should look like: public T create(CreationalContext<T> creationalContext) { T instance = getInjectionTarget().produce(creationalContext); getInjectionTarget().inject(instance, creationalContext); getInjectionTarget().postConstruct(instance); return instance; } Same goes for destroy(). The implementations of create() and destroy() in SessionBean are even worse. In this case, InjectionTarget.produce() seems to be doing something completely wrong and broken. It is supposed to return a non-container-managed object. EJB should be the thing calling it, not Weld directly. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
