[cdi-dev] intercepted private @PostConstruct method behaviour?

[Mark Struberg]

I guess I found the answer by studying the interceptors spec. It states that

"The PostConstruct and PreDestroy, annotations are used to define an interceptor
method for a lifecycle callback event."

I assume that those are really only meant for 'lifecycle callback events' and must _not_ get invoked if they got called manually.

Thus postConstructInterception will also get called for the private method but NOT for a manual invocation if the doTheInit would be public.

Is this interpretation correct?
Can we have a TCK for it? :D
