[cdi-dev] Lifecycle Callback Interceptor and @Target "METHOD"

[Jozef Hartinger]

This was explicitly forbidden in CDI 1.0. If the spec allows it I doubt 
this was a deliberate change for CDI 1.1 but rather a leftover from the 
"method level bindings for lifecycle interceptors" proposal which ended 
up being reverted in the interceptors spec.

However I have a dedicated @AroundInvoke and @PostConstruct interceptor method. If I declare my annotation at method level I would expect that @AroundInvoke is applied only.

This statement seems to be OK but I believe this doesn't mean that my interceptor binding annotation may not specify ElementType.METHOD.

Since I use this interceptor at class AND method level it declares @Target({ElementType.METHOD, ElementType.TYPE}). The error message seems to indicate that I can not have a lifecycle callback interceptor with @Target METHOD:
