EJB3 default interceptors

To apply an interceptor class (auctionsystem.infra.EJBMonitor in this example) to all beans, add to the deployment descriptor (ejb-jar.xml):

<ejb-jar>
  <interceptors>
    <interceptor>
      <interceptor-class>auctionsystem.helper.EJBMonitor</interceptor-class>
    </interceptor>
  </interceptors>
  <assembly-descriptor>
    <interceptor-binding>
      <ejb-name>*</ejb-name>
      <interceptor-class>auctionsystem.helper.EJBMonitor</interceptor-class>
    </interceptor-binding>
  </assembly-descriptor>
</ejb-jar>

The order in which interceptors are called is:

1. default interceptors
2. class level interceptors (interceptors on superclasses are called first)
3. method level interceptors

To overrule calling of interceptors with larger scope use these annotations:

1. @ExcludeDefaultInterceptors
2. @ExcludeClassInterceptors

There are similar defaults for JPA, but these don't work currently in glassfish (issue 2821)
