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>
