CDI Error for interceptor on Websphere 8.5

[Vani Kumar]

I have just enabled CDI on Websphere 8.5.5 and added interceptors

In beans.xml file

    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <beans xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/
    XMLSchema-instance"
	xsi:schemeLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://
    java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/beans_1_0.xsd">
	<interceptors>
		<class>com.example.jaxrs.SecurityChecked</class>
	</interceptors>
    </beans>

SecurityChecked annotation

    import java.lang.annotation.ElementType;
    import java.lang.annotation.Inherited;
    import java.lang.annotation.Retention;
    import java.lang.annotation.RetentionPolicy;
    import java.lang.annotation.Target;

    import javax.interceptor.InterceptorBinding;

    @Inherited
    @InterceptorBinding
    @Target({ ElementType.TYPE, ElementType.METHOD })
    @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
    public @interface SecurityChecked {
    }

    import javax.interceptor.AroundInvoke;
    import javax.interceptor.Interceptor;
    import javax.interceptor.InvocationContext;

    @Interceptor
    @SecurityChecked
    public class SecurityCheckInterceptor {

	 @AroundInvoke
	 public Object checkSecurity(InvocationContext context) throws Exception {
		/*
		 * check the parameters or do a generic security check before invoking
		 * the original method
		 */
		Object[] params = context.getParameters();

		/* if security validation fails, you can throw an exception */
		System.out.println("in securitycheck interceptor");

		/* invoke the proceed() method to call the original method */
		Object ret = context.proceed();

		/* perform any post method call work */
		return ret;
	}
    }

In JAX-RS class as below

    @GET
    @com.example.jaxrs.SecurityChecked
    public String checkInterceptor(String hello) {
        return "Hello world!";
    }

When i deploy EAR, i get below error.

WebContainerL I WebContainerLifecycle startApplication OpenWebBeans Container is starting...

[10/15/14 14:53:15:259 EDT] 00000067 BeansDeployer E BeansDeployer deploy org.apache.webbeans.exception.WebBeansConfigurationException: Given class : interface com.example.jaxrs.SecurityChecked is not a interceptor class

Any suggestions what would be the cause of this error?

My bad!, it should have been like below in beans.xml.

<interceptors>
<class>com.example.jaxrs.SecurityCheckInterceptor</class>
</interceptors>
