InterceptionFactory allows to create a wrapper instance whose method invocations are intercepted by method interceptors and forwarded to a provided instance.

An implementation of InterceptionFactory may be obtained by calling BeanManager#createInterceptionFactory(CreationalContext, Class) to be used in the create method of a custom bean for example.

public class MyCustomBean implements Bean<MyClass> {

    BeanManager bm;

    public MyCustomBean(BeanManager bm) {
        this.bm = bm;
    }

    public MyClass create(CreationalContext<MyClass> creationalContext) {

        InterceptionFactory<MyClass> factory = bm.createInterceptionFactory(creationalContext, MyClass.class);

        factory.configure().filterMethods(m -> m.getJavaMember().getName().equals("shouldBeTransactional")).findFirst()
                .ifPresent(m -> m.add(new AnnotationLiteral<Transactional>() {
                }));

        return factory.createInterceptedInstance(new MyClass());
    }
}

The container must also provide a built-in bean with scope Dependent, bean type InterceptionFactory and qualifier Default that can be injected in a producer method parameter.

@Produces
@RequestScoped
public MyClass produceMyClass(InterceptionFactory<MyClass> factory) {
    factory.configure().add(new AnnotationLiteral<Transactional>() {
    });
    return factory.createInterceptedInstance(new MyClass());
}

Instances of this class are neither reusable nor suitable for sharing between threads.

CDI Lite implementations are not required to provide support for InterceptionFactory.
