PostContruct not being called

[mohitanchlia]

Using jboss 4.2. I have a simple Bean
but when I deploy it in jboss PostConstruct doesn't get called. Is that a bug? I can see that Bean in started state in JMX console though

@Stateless
@Local
@LocalBinding (jndiBinding="queue/monitor")
public class QueueMonitorTimerServiceBean implements QueueMonitorTimerService{

 @Resource
 javax.ejb.TimerService timerService;
 List<BlockingRule> blockingRules = null;
 private static final int REFERSH_TIMEOUT = 30 * 1000;
 private static final Log logger = LogFactory.getLog(QueueMonitorTimerServiceBean.class);

 @PostConstruct
 public void postConstruct(){
 logger.info(" Initializing Queue Monitor Timer Service ");
 System.out.println("INIT QUEUE ");
 Timer timer = timerService.createTimer(REFERSH_TIMEOUT , "Blocking Rule Timer");
 }

 public List<BlockingRule> getActiveBlockingRules() {
 // TODO Auto-generated method stub
 return blockingRules;
 }

 @Timeout
 public void timeout(Timer time){
 logger.info(" Timeout of Queue Monitor Timer Service ");
 }

 public List<BlockingRule> getBlockingRules() {
 // TODO Auto-generated method stub
 return null;
 }
}

The PostConstruct will be called after the bean is instantiated. The bean will be instantiated when you lookup it up and access it.

Going by your code, you seem to be initializing something and you expect this to happen when the application is deployed. If that's what you want, then have a look at the @Service annotation http://docs.jboss.org/ejb3/app-server/reference/build/reference/en/html/jboss_extensions.html

Thanks. So if there is a pool of 10 beans then does PostContruct gets called 10 times?

Yes, one per bean instance.

EJB 3.1 will also introduce the @Singleton bean.
