How to run selective test cases based on nature of data fed by dataprovider in TestNG

Say i have 10 test cases in class, and i have a data provider. Based on the nature of data injected to a test case, i want to decide the set of test cases to be run, out of total 10 tests, probably using IMethodInterceptor.

So i was thinking of setting some data to testContext which i will use in my listener implementing IMethodInterceptor, to decide set of test cases to be run.

Now, the problem which i face here is, where could i set the required test attributes to testContext, so as to read them in listener.

I cant use BeforeTest as it will work fine only for the first data set. and not BeforeClass as it executes after the listener.

So in short how can i run selective test cases based on nature of data fed by dataprovider, using IMethodInterceptor

"I cant use BeforeTest as it will work fine only for the first data set."

Have you tried to use the 'alwaysRun' parameter?

@BeforeTest( alwaysRun=true )

Invert the sense of your question: how can I run test cases against only data that appropriate to it?

Create one data provider for each test case. The data provider for a test case is then simply a filter on the master list of test data and provides only interesting test data values to the test case.
