Changes for 2.0

• Clarified [relationship_to_other_specifications] to be consistent with the Jakarta EE Platform specification with regard to when interceptors defined by means of the Interceptors annotation and interceptors defined by means of interceptor bindings are required to be supported.

• Clarified terminology in sections [terminology] and [definition_of_interceptor_classes_and_interceptor_methods].

• Noted that around-construct interceptors run in the same thread as the target constructor in section [interceptor_environment].

• Clarified that around-construct interceptor methods may throw checked exceptions.

• Clarified distinction between core requirements and the latitude available to extension specifications.

• Reworded to indicate that deployment descriptors are specific to extension specifications.

• Clarified that interceptor binding may not be used to associate interceptors with decorators.

• Corrected bug in section [interceptor_binding_types_with_additional_interceptor_bindings]: An interceptor binding type can only be applied to an interceptor binding type defining a subset of its target types.

• Removed inconsistency whereby only around-construct lifecycle callback interceptors could declare interceptor binding types defined other than as Target(TYPE) .

• Clarified when Priority annotation is ignored.

• Added section [enabling_interceptors] to [interceptor_ordering] to centralize existing requirements on enabling interceptors and separate concept of the enabling of interceptors from the ordering of interceptors.

• Combined interceptor ordering rules into a single algorithm in section [interceptor_ordering_rules].

• Factored out section[excluding_interceptors] on excluding interceptors.

• Clarified that ExcludeClassInterceptors applies only to interceptors defined by means of the Interceptors annotation.

• Made numerous editorial cleanup changes, and reorganized document for clarity.
