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

[Martin Kouba]

Hi,

my interpretation is that in this case there are two lifecycle callback
interceptor methods. The first on the target class (MyService). The
other one on the interceptor class (TransactionalInterceptor). Each time
a new contextual instance of MyService is initialized all the lifecycle
callback interceptor methods are invoked according to the rules defined
in the Interceptors spec (Multiple Callback Interceptor Methods for a
Life Cycle Callback Event) -> TransactionalInterceptor first.

With regards the manual invocation of doTheInit (via a contextual
reference to the bean):
* according to the CDI spec (7.2 Container invocations and
interception), such an invocation will result in a regular business
method invocation (aroundInvoke intercepted, decorated, etc.)
* and again both lifecycle callbacks will only be invoked if a new
contextual instance of MyService is initialized

Re TCK - raise an issue please :-)
