thanks to all who responded. during the weekend, i decided to play with the interceptors and after a bit of googling i found the right starting point in the sources.
i am now doing the following: i wrote my own MyInterceptor which extends AbstractInterceptor and in the jboss.xml of the application i have configured a new container-configuration where this Interceptor is added to the session beans. everything seems to work :-) i can do my exception wrapping, can even call other beans ... (btw, at the moment, i call the other bean like any client would do it. i guess there is a more elegant way?) i really like the interceptor design of jboss. thanks to all again. p.s. when the new AOP release is out, i might perhaps have a new look at doing it instead with AOP, but if the above is working ... ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
