<p>The rules here are pretty hard to follow without
examples.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>When they say one AroundInvoke per class they mean that in the most
literal sense as in one individual java class definition, not including
it&#8217;s parent class or classes, may exactly one AroundInvoke method. The
bean or interceptor class may have an AroundInvoke method, its parent
class may have an AroundInvoke method, the parent&#8217;s parent class may
have an AroundInvoke method and so on.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>So the following is legal.</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-java" data-lang="java">public class Plant {
@AroundInvoke
public Object a(InvocationContext ctx) throws Exception {
return ctx.proceed();
}
}
public class Fruit extends Plant {
@AroundInvoke
public Object b(InvocationContext ctx) throws Exception {
return ctx.proceed();
}
}
@Stateless
public class Apple extends Fruit implements AppleLocal {
@AroundInvoke
public Object c(InvocationContext ctx) throws Exception {
return ctx.proceed();
}
public String grow(){
return "ready to pick";
}
}
public interface AppleLocal {
public String grow();
}</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The result is that when the "grow" method on AppleLocal (and
consequently on Apple) is invoked, the container will first invoke the
following AroundInvoke methods in this order; a, b, c.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>What the ejb spec doesn&#8217;t do such a good job at stating is that there
are ways to effectively shut off the callbacks, including AroundInvoke,
of a parent class by simply overriding the method. We can shut off the
"a" around invoke with a slightly different version of Apple as follows:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-java" data-lang="java">@Stateless
public class Apple extends Fruit implements AppleLocal {
// This will now never be called.
public Object a(InvocationContext ctx) throws Exception {
return null;
}
@AroundInvoke
public Object c(InvocationContext ctx) throws Exception {
return ctx.proceed();
}
public String grow(){
return "ready to pick";
}
}</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The result of this is that when the "grow" method on AppleLocal is
invoked, the container will first invoke the AroundInvoke methods "b"
then "c" skipping "a" completely.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>When they say that an AroundInvoke method cannot be a business method,
they mean that they cannot be exposed to clients through a local or
remote interface. The following would be illegal.</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-java" data-lang="java">public interface AppleLocal {
public String grow();
// This is an AroundInvoke method in the bean class, not a legal business method!
public Object c(InvocationContext ctx) throws Exception;
}</code></pre>
