Consider the following bean with an interceptor:

@Stateless
@Interceptors(SimpleInterceptor.class)
@Remote(InjectionTester.class)
public class SimpleStatelessBean implements InjectionTester
{
...

and the corresponding interceptor class:

public class SimpleInterceptor
{

private EJBContext ejbContextInjectedThroughEjbJarXml;
...
}

and the ejb-jar.xml which configures injection-target for the interceptor:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ejb-jar
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/ejb-jar_3_0.xsd"
version="3.0">

<interceptors>
<interceptor>
<interceptor-class>org.jboss.ejb3.test.interceptor.SimpleInterceptor</interceptor-class>
<resource-env-ref>
<resource-env-ref-name>someOtherENCName</resource-env-ref-name>
<resource-env-ref-type>javax.ejb.EJBContext</resource-env-ref-type>
<injection-target>
<injection-target-class>org.jboss.ejb3.test.interceptor.SimpleInterceptor</injection-target-class>
<injection-target-name>ejbContextInjectedThroughEjbJarXml</injection-target-name>
</injection-target>
</resource-env-ref>
</interceptor>
</interceptors>
</ejb-jar>

This results in the following exception:

The ResourceHandler ends up creating an injector for the bean instance (instead of the interceptor):

private static void loadXmlResourceEnvRefs(InjectionContainer container, Collection<ResourceEnvironmentReferenceMetaData> refs)
{
for (ResourceEnvironmentReferenceMetaData envRef : refs)
{
....
try
{
if(resTypeName != null)
{
...
if (envRef.getInjectionTargets() != null)

{ InjectionUtil.createInjectors(container.getInjectors(), container.getClassloader(), factory, envRef.getInjectionTargets()); continue; }

(Notice the use of InjectionUtil.createInjectors which creates an injector for the bean instance (i.e. adds the injector to container.injectors()). The ResourceHandler should instead use

InjectionUtil.injectionTarget(encName, envRef, container, container.getEncInjections());
