Hello. I have a JSF application that I have deployed with a simple managed bean. I added the @PostConstruct annotation to a method of the managed bean as follows, but the method never fires. I even removed my my Logger and used a System.out.println to simplify further.
Is @PostConstruct supported by JBoss AS 4.2? I don't want to waste a lot of time on this if it is not.
Thank you.
@PostConstruct
public void initialize()
{
System.out.println("TEST: POSTCONSTRUCT FIRED");
}
faces-config.xml:
<managed-bean>
<managed-bean-name>bean</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class>demo.Bean</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>
<managed-property>
<property-name>text</property-name>
<value>#{param.text}</value>
</managed-property>
</managed-bean>
