Netbeans (7.4) shows an error (red wavy line and icon) if a interceptor binding with @Target({TYPE, METHOD}) is used on a bean with a @PostConstruct method, even if the interceptor is not a lifecycle callback interceptor (doesn't have a @PostConstruct or any other lifecycle methods).


An interceptor binding like this

@InterceptorBinding
@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Target({TYPE, METHOD})
public @interface MyBinding {}

and an interceptor like this:

@Interceptor
@MyBinding
public class MyInterceptor implements Serializable {

    @AroundInvoke
    public Object interceptInvoke(InvocationContext ctx) throws Exception {
        //something
        return ctx.proceed()
    }
}

Results in an errormessage on the @PostConstruct method when this binding is applied to a bean:

@Named
@MyBinding
public class SomeBean {

    @PostConstruct
    public void init() {
    }
}

Message is "Interceptor for lifecycle callbacks may only declare interceptor binding types that are defined as @Target(TYPE)".

But MyInterceptor is not a lifecycle callback interceptor, and doesn't apply to the init() method as it doesn't have a @PostConstruct method. 

The error message is correct for lifecycle interceptors, but @AroundInvoke interceptors are allowed to have @Target({TYPE, METHOD}).
