How to create global ejb server side / client side interceptors in JBoss EAP

Environment

• Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP)
  • 7
  • 6

Issue

I would like to create an implementation of org.jboss.invocation.Interceptor and add it to the list of interceptors (such as ExecutionTimeInterceptor, SBInvocationInterceptor, ...), specifically for ejb3 timers. How do I do that in EAP6?

Resolution

EAP 7.3+

Add a custom module with the jar containing the interceptors

module add --name=examples.ejb.interceptors --resources=/path/to/example-ejb-interceptors.jar

Enable a global EJB Server Interceptor

/subsystem=ejb3:list-add(name=server-interceptors,value={module=examples.ejb.interceptors,class=org.jboss.examples.ejb.interceptors.ExampleServerInterceptor})

Enable a global EJB Client Interceptor

/subsystem=ejb3:list-add(name=client-interceptors,value={module=examples.ejb.interceptors,class=org.jboss.examples.ejb.interceptors.ExampleClientInterceptor})

Prior to EAP 7.3

Workaround:

• create an EJB Interceptor and configure it in the ejb-jar.xml, jboss-ejb3.xml , etc for all deployments. JBoss deployment overlays could be used to add a configuration xml to all deployments to enable the interceptor.
