  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of WebSphere 9.0.0.0 and later    *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The user has created a CDI              *
  *                      Interceptor annotation via a CDI        *
  *                      Extension and experienced a             *
  *                      ClassCastException from                 *
  *                      InterceptorChain.proceed                *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The code for handling CDI interceptors applied to EJBs makes
  an assumption that is not true, if the Interceptor annotation
  is registered via a CDI Extension. This will cause a class cast
  exception.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code was updated to handle interceptor annotations
  
  registered via CDI Extensions
  
  The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in fix pack
  9.0.5.27. For more information, see 'Recommended Updates for
