[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-686) Could InterceptionFactory accept an interface as type parameter

[Martin Kouba (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-686?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13634667#comment-13634667 ] 

Martin Kouba commented on CDI-686:
----------------------------------

I'm still a bit reluctant to make it possible to add interceptor bindings to interfaces. This would be a big change. And if we say that it's only allowed for {{InterceptionFactory}} then users would ask why not for other use cases? So we would probably have to modify the inheritance rules. BTW it seems that {{@javax.interceptor.Interceptors}} can also be applied to a target class or to a superclass of the target class.

>         interceptionFactory.ignoreFinalMethods().configure().filterMethods((m) -> {

>                     && m.getJavaMember().getParameterCount() == 1) {

>         return interceptionFactory.createInterceptedInstance(new ArrayList<>());
>     }
> {code}
> Parameterized type for injected {{InterceptionFactory}} is an interface {{List<Object>}}, so when calling {{configure()}}, user will work with an {{AnnotatedTypeConfigurator<List<Object>>}} to apply interceptor binding.
> In a standard interceptor usage, interceptor binding on interface are ignored (even if they have {{@Inherited}} annotation), so doing it with {{InterceptionFactory}} could be confusing for some user.
