Yep, I did tried to add this interceptor to other bean methods across application and that also does not work. I did not try to use it in standalone glassfish server though - only within embedded (but this is my current use case, and I really want it to work). My bean.xml file is under submodule of ear application under "META-INF" directory (where it supposed to be, in either case CDI won't work). I wonder what should happen for weld actually invoke interceptors? What controls this inside weld?
