Interceptor method not called with interceptor binding

Question

I'm using Java EE 6 & Jboss AS7.1 and try to use interceptor binding (Example from jboss site).

I have an InterceptorBinding annotation:

@InterceptorBinding
@Target({ ElementType.METHOD, ElementType.TYPE })
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
public @interface GeoRestrictedEquipment {
}

The interceptor:

@GeoRestrictedEquipment
@Interceptor
public class GeoRestrictedEquipmentInterceptor {

    @EJB EquipmentDao equipmenttDao;    
    @EJB SecurityService securityService;    

    @AroundInvoke
    public Object checker(InvocationContext ctx) throws Exception {
        Integer id = (Integer) ctx.getParameters()[0];
        Equipment equipment = equipmenttDao.findById(id);
        GeoChecker.check(equipment.getSite(), securityService.getUser());

        return ctx.proceed();
    }
}

And a bean:

@Stateless
@LocalBean
@SecurityDomain(Realm.NAME)
@RolesAllowed({ Roles.REGISTERED })
public class PumpService implements PumpServiceLocal {

    @Override
    @GeoRestrictedEquipment
    public PumpInfos getPumpInfos(Integer pumpId) {
        /* ... */
    }
}

But the interceptor is not called... What do I miss from the example ?

The interceptor is called when I write this:

@Override
@Interceptors({GeoRestrictedEquipmentInterceptor.class})
public PumpInfos getPumpInfos(Integer pumpId) {
    /* ... */
}

Thanks for your help.

According to the documentation there is another way rather than using beans.xml:

You do not need to specify the interceptor in the beans.xml file when you use the @Priority annotation.

@Logged
@Interceptor
@Priority(Interceptor.Priority.APPLICATION)
public class LoggedInterceptor implements Serializable { ... }

And it works.
