Basically, getting control just before calling the resource method and right after the method returns. This a very useful thing, especially to measure how long the resource method execution took.

I'm perhaps missing something simple here, so please pardon my ignorance. I don't understand how this can be done, without the Resource providers putting anything (annotations) in their resource classes. What I'm trying to achieve is, in an operational environment, without requiring resource classes to do anything special (we can't rely on resource providers to put certain annotations in their classes), how do we measure the resource execution time, excluding the MBR and MBW times etc. I can write a CDI interceptor class, but how do we associate that interceptor class automatically to any resource method execution ?
