37.2. Adding Custom Interceptors Declaratively

Procedure 37.1. Adding Custom Interceptors

<local-cache name="cacheWithCustomInterceptors">
   <custom-interceptors>
      <interceptor position="FIRST" class="com.mycompany.CustomInterceptor1">
        <property name="attributeOne" value="value1" />
        <property name="attributeTwo" value="value2" />
      </interceptor>
      <interceptor position="LAST" class="com.mycompany.CustomInterceptor2"/>
      <interceptor index="3" class="com.mycompany.CustomInterceptor1"/>
      <interceptor before="org.infinispan.interceptors.CallInterceptor" class="com.mycompany.CustomInterceptor2"/>
      <interceptor after="org.infinispan.interceptors.CallInterceptor" class="com.mycompany.CustomInterceptor1"/>
   </customInterceptors>
</local-cache>

1. Define Custom Interceptors

   All custom interceptors must extend org.infinispan.interceptors.base.BaseCustomInterceptor.

2. Define the Position of the New Custom Interceptor

   Interceptors must have a defined position. These options are mutually exclusive, meaning an interceptor cannot have both a position attribute and index attribute. Valid options are:

   • via Position Attribute

     • FIRST - Specifies that the new interceptor is placed first in the chain.
     • LAST - Specifies that the new interceptor is placed last in the chain.
     • OTHER_THAN_FIRST_OR_LAST - Specifies that the new interceptor can be placed anywhere except first or last in the chain.

   • via Index Attribute

     • The index identifies the position of this interceptor in the chain. This index begins at 0, being the first position in the chain, and goes up to a number of interceptors in a given configuration.

   • via Before or After Attributes

     • The after attributes places the new interceptor directly after the instance of the named interceptor, specified via its fully qualified class name.
     • The before attribute places the new interceptor directly before the instance of the named interceptor, specified via its fully qualified class name.

   • Define Interceptor Properties

     Define specific interceptor properties.

3. Apply Other Custom Interceptors

   In this example, the next custom interceptor is called CustomInterceptor2.
