Question

Let’s say I have an interceptor that looks smth like this:

public class AuthorizationInterceptor {

  Logger log = Logger.getLogger(getClass().getName());

  @AroundInvoke
  private Object authorize(InvocationContext ic) throws Exception{
    // ... some other logic for authorization

    if (!allowedMethods.contains(ic.getMethod().getName())){
      log.info("Authorization failed. Preparing to throw exception");
      throw new AuthException("Authorization failed for method " +
                ic.getMethod().getName());
    }

    return ic.proceed();
  }
}

which is applied to different methods from my EJBs.

I would normally expect the exception throed to be passed to the invoking client, like all normal EJB exceptions.

Apparently this doesn’t happen if I throw it from an Interceptor… It’s not even logged on the server; like it’s never thrown although it is – the return statement is never executed.

What am I doing wrong?

I’m using GF 3.0.1

Here are a couple of things to try:

1. Check that the authorize(...) method is called.
2. Try making the authorize(...) method public instead of private.
3. Check that the EJB has an annotation like this:
      @Interceptors(AuthorizationInterceptor.class)
