2.1.5. Interceptor binding types
You might be familiar with the use of interceptors in EJB 3.0. In Java EE 6,
this functionality has been generalized to work with other managed beans.
That's right, you no longer have to make your bean an EJB just to intercept its
methods. Holler. So what does CDI have to offer above and beyond that? Well,
quite a lot actually. Let's cover some background.

I don't think that assuming all readers are familiar with the use of
interceptors.
The concept should be shortly explained, and maybe there can be a note that it
originated in EJB 3.0.
Truth is, that it's covered that way in the chapter 9, but even in the
introduction, I'd keep it that way.
