SessionContext injection in a CDI interceptor fails in JBoss EAP 6.3

Issue

• I have an EJB3 that declares a CDI interceptor, this interceptor has a sessionContext field like this :

@Resource
SessionContext sessionContext;

At deployment I get the following exception below. I have also tried @Inject and it fails also.

Caused by: javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: env/com.example.test.ExampleInterceptor/sessionContext -- service jboss.naming.context.java.comp.myejbmodule.myejbmodule.HelloEJB.env."com.example.test.ExampleInterceptor".sessionContext
