If your bean class is declared:
@Stateless
public class PersonBean extends AbstractDAO implements PersonManager...
then PersonManager is deemed its remote (if it's annotated with
@Remote), or local (if it's annotated with @Local, or nothing to that
effect). So business methods can only come from PersonManager. If
PersonBean indirectly implements DAO, where your persist method is
declared, DAO is not considered its business interface. Interceptors
only apply to business methods.
