[cdi-dev] LifeCycle Event Callbacks and Interceptors

[Pete Muir]

>From 7.2 of the CDI spec:

"Invocation of lifecycle callbacks by the container are not business method invocations, but are intercepted by intercept- ors for lifecycle callbacks."

and 

"If, and only if, an invocation is a business method invocation it passes through method interceptors and decorators"

So the CDI spec is fairly clear that around invoke interceptors are not called for lifecycle callbacks IMO. If you want this clarified, please open a CDI issue + provide a patch/pull req for suggested changes (as I see it, it's quite clear so I wouldn't know how to improve it ;-).
