As far as I read in the EJB interceptors spec, constructors may not get intercepted. The question is if methods called within the constructors may have to become intercepted. Afaik common sense is that this is not really defined and shall not be used.
Constructors are not intercepted. As far as methods called within a constructor it's really orthogonal. Any method invocation on a proxy go through the "container" and hit the bean. If someone has a "this" reference to the bean instance itself and invokes it (that includes the bean itself), then no container managed anything happens.
