CDI: Using Interceptors across different modules / bean archives

Question

My Java EE 6 application consists of a war and an ejb module packaged in ear file. I\'m using CDI for DI (i.e. I have a beans.xml file in both modules). I want to use a logging

Answer 1

I had exactly the same problem with my logging interceptor on JBoss 7 and fixed it by overlaying the complete interceptor's jar into the application.

    
        
            org.apache.maven.plugins
            maven-war-plugin
            2.4
            
                
                    
                        com.github.t1
                        logging-interceptor
                        jar
                        WEB-INF/classes
                    
                
            
        
    



    
        com.github.t1
        logging-interceptor
        1.1
        true
    

You'll still have to activate the interceptor in the application's breans.xml.

Not nice, but it works. In Java EE 7, it works without the activation by annotating the interceptor as @Priority.
